US State Dep. backs digital diplomacy
The US Department of State has adopted new efforts to bring diplomacy into the digital age by using widely available technologies to reach out to non-state actors.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton promoted an attempt called “the 21st Century Statecraft†which encourages using such tech-based tools as social networking websites on the internet.
As part of the new strategy, members of the State Department, Jared Cohen and Alec Ross, publish news on the social networking website, Twitter, via their mobile phones.
Twitter is a social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read other users' messages called “tweets.†Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters displayed on the author's profile page.
The posts published by Cohen and Ross are among the most followed of any state staff, coming third and fourth to US President Barack Obama and former presidential candidate Senator John McCain.
The digital form of diplomacy is pitted against more traditional forms and is not limited to social networking websites.
“It represents a shift in form and in strategy, a way to amplify traditional diplomatic efforts, develop tech-based policy solutions and encourage cyber-activism,†The New York Times wrote in a July issue.
Some experts believe the new strategy of promoting digital diplomacy is a way of presenting a false picture of the United States, in contrast with recent efforts by American officials to cover up military documents on the war in Afghanistan released by the whistleblower website WikiLeaks.
The documents revealed atrocities committed by the US forces in the war-torn country.
