How the Global Diplomacy Lab impacts the future of diplomacy: GDL member Elsa Marie D’Silva elaborates on exactly that in an article for The Diplomatic Pouch, a platform by Georgetown University’s Institute for the Study of Diplomacy.
Concerning the current landscape of the diplomatic world she states: “The challenges of the 21st century are very different from the ones of previous centuries. We are battling climate change, technological disruptions, and growing economic inequality, amongst others. These challenges require radical collaboration to spur innovative thinking and creativity. Further, the nature of diplomacy is evolving. It is no longer the strict purview of national governments and international organizations.”
