SUMMARY:2021: The emergence of digital foreign policy
DESCRIPTION:All countries\, albeit with differences in emphasis depending on their circumstances and capabilities\, recognise that digitisation plays a role in foreign policy. In the age of digitisation\, diplomacy is shifting and adapting. Some countries have launched comprehensive digital foreign policy strategies\, others have instantiated dedicated positions such as cyber ambassadors or tech envoys. With existing developments coming to fruition and new developments taking shape\, we believe that 2021 is the year where we will see digital foreign policy emerge fully. \nJoin us on Tuesday\, 2nd March\, at 8am – 10:30am EST (14:00–16:30 CET) \nRegistrations are open \nRegister×During this event\, we want to assess the current situation\, share lessons learned\, and enter into a discussion with practitioners. We will bring together high-level practitioners and expert researchers to unpack the emergence of digital foreign policy. \nWe have three aims in particular: \n\nMapping: What is the current situation regarding countries’ digital foreign policy strategies? What other documents are particularly relevant and what are the different approaches taken by countries?\nAnalysing: What shape do digital foreign policy strategies take? What is the institutional setting supporting them?\nIndicating best practices: What can we learn from these strategies and the approaches of various countries regarding their digital foreign policy? What advice can we give to countries seeking to develop such strategies and implementing their digital foreign policies?\n\nIn preparation for the event\, please consult our resources: \n\nAn in-depth analysis of the topic by Dr Jovan Kurbalija: ‘2021: The emergence of digital foreign policy’\nOur dedicated Digital Foreign Policy page which contains the mapping of existing foreign policy strategies\n\nThe event will be opened by: \n\nFederal Councillor Mr Ignazio Cassis\, Head of the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs\, Switzerland\nMr Houlin Zhao\, Secretary General\, International Telecommunication Union (ITU)\n\nConfirmed speakers include: \n\nAmb.
