dc.description.abstract | This research paper discusses the changing nature of diplomatic practices in the age of digital transformation, particularly for small states. It examines the influence of new media on diplomacy, including its conduct, negotiation, representation, and communication, highlighting the intertwined nature of the digital and physical spaces. The study puts forward that the shift in diplomacy in this digital era will be both incremental and transformational, calling for diplomats to develop dynamic skill sets to remain relevant and effective. The paper acknowledges the unique challenges and opportunities for small states in digital diplomacy, advocating for ongoing professional development and adaptation to technological advancements. It points out the limitations in diplomatic research, like time constraints and data availability, but emphasises the value of qualitative insights from interviews, supported by a literature review. The study contributes insights into the evolving field of digital diplomacy and its implications for small states, stressing the importance of adaptability and continuous learning in diplomatic practices. It underscores the theme of transformational growth in diplomacy amidst digital disruption, offering a forward-looking perspective on the dynamics within the diplomatic sphere, especially for small states, and underscores the significance of adaptability and reskilling in modern diplomatic practices. | en_GB |
