to better address global challenges through #ScienceDiplomacy multilateral responses. But there are diplomatic stoppers, warnings, and drivers. Here, a to explain them! https://www.s4d4c.eu/calling-for-a-systemic-change-towards-a-eu-science-diplomacy-for-addressing-global-challenges/
#Diplomacy Stopper 
: Nationalisms, protectionisms & populisms. Crises in the EU (euro crisis, migration, Brexit, Euroscepticism, COVID19) affect integration. Permanent Structured CoOperation may promote EU member state cooperation, in #SciDip too? https://pesco.europa.eu/
#Diplomacy Stopper 
: Socio-political fractures in the EU. Current economic, societal, and ideological fractures exist between North/South, and West/East, which makes both advancing in the European project and ensuring multilateral responses harder. https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2013/07/22/the-growing-economic-and-ideological-breach-between-northern-and-southern-eu-countries-is-pushing-europe-towards-a-perfect-storm/
#Diplomacy Stopper 
: Political decisions outweigh scientific evidence. Diplomacy & policy-making need to consider many interests: political, economic, religious... Sci evidence is a credible source of info, but not the only one. See @EU_ScienceHub. https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/en/facts4eufuture/understanding-our-political-nature
#Diplomacy Stopper 
: The Tragedy of the Commons. Global goods have the problem that individual users tend to overexploit them (think of oceans, for instance). There is a major gridlock for global cooperation and collective action.
#Diplomacy Warning : Globalisation, new actors & cooperation goals. Nation states & diplomats aren't the only players. BigTech companies, startups or academia are increasingly important in foreign affairs. New cooperation frameworks in #Science #Tech #Innovation required too.
#Diplomacy Warning : Diplomacy is adapting to digitalisation & new technologies: big data, cybersecurity, tech industry, social media, managing crisis almost in real time... New forms of diplomacy emerge #Techplomacy to influence. Here, some podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/at/podcast/techplomacy-talk/id1353401393
#Diplomacy Warning : Common Foreign Security and Policy, a work in progress. Member states are aligning their policies, is deploying its Global Strategy, and the launch of @EEAS is quite recent. Their role in #ScienceDiplomacy is yet to increase. https://eeas.europa.eu/topics/eu-global-strategy/47517/implementing-global-strategy-eu-delivers-security-and-defence_en
#Diplomacy Warning : Lack of scientific training in the diplomatic community. Diplomats need more info to better grasp the geopolitical impact of sci and tech development, and engage with experts. So take our #ScienceDiplomacy course!https://www.s4d4c.eu/european-science-diplomacy-online-course/
#Diplomacy Driver : is global example in integration and science. It's a unique polity in the world that is filling a global leadership void in both multilateralism and international scientific collaboration. @jameswilsdon @sarahderijcke https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-01568-x
#Diplomacy Driver : Good examples of development cooperation frameworks. #SDGs shows a pathway for international cooperation and partnerships, with the EU being the world’s leading donor of development assistance and cooperation. https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/
#Diplomacy Driver : Knowledge-based economy. Global challenges are great opportunities to trigger innovation and economic competitiveness, exploring opportunities for international cooperation and building global business alliances.

#Diplomacy Driver : Diplomacy can use science as a common language to bridge communities with weak political ties. A coordinated effort to foster multilateralism, cooperation among stakeholders, and implement projects with impact. eg.
