Diplomacy in the digital age

الملخص EN

Digital diplomacy is currently perceived as a cardinal direction in diplomatic communication within the new century that is resulting from globalization and new public diplomacy.

in light of the developments of information and communication technology, perceiving diplomacy and diplomatic relations have been witnessing radical changes, which paved the way to new digital diplomacy based on these new technologies.

research on this new form of diplomacy, however, rests on scant empirical footing.

this paper is an attempt to fill this gap by answering the question: can digital diplomacy establish an appropriate international environment commensurate to international footholds and greater facility in the attainment of national interests?.
