Research to investigate the transformation of diplomacy in the digital age
15 January 2013
A new research project titled ‘The Online Diplomat: The transformation of diplomacy in the digital age’ is to be led by Dr Lisbeth Aggestam.
The project will examine the impact of new social communication technologies, such as Twitter and Blogs, on diplomatic practice and foreign policy.
This interdisciplinary research will also involve close cooperation with two other colleagues at the University of Bath:
- Dr Leon Watts (Department of Computer Science)
- Dr Jon Raelin (School of Management)
Dr Lisbeth Aggestam will take sabbatical leave to work on this project, which will run from 1 February until 31 July 2013.
