Humanitarian diplomacy or the impact of digital technology on transnational social movements of (cyber-)citizens - 2018.
1
State or sovereign nation diplomacy, which had long been an arena reserved for politicians, has never stopped evolving and changing. New actors, including non-state actors, have emerged on the scene. Further, modern means and methods of communication have played a role in revolutionizing diplomatic activity. In this context of internationalization and globalization, something completely novel has grown up in this field: non-governmental humanitarian diplomacy 2.0. The initiatives undertaken by these non-state organizations and their proven success demonstrate that new practices, new modes of communication (especially via the Internet), and new forms of discourse are being constructed. The humanitarian sphere is now integrating digital technology, thereby raising the profile of collective responsibility and providing evidence for the existence of a transnational social movement of cyber-citizens.
