Many assume diplomacy evolves naturally, and that state- and non-state actors are powerless to make significant changes. But Diplomacy’s methods, its key institutions and conventions were agreed more than six decades ago. None take account of the opportunities and vulnerabilities presented by the Internet. Diplomacy is now a neglected global issue.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe COVID pandemic and the invasion of Ukraine have highlighted some of the problems of diplomatic dysfunction. Beyond identifying current problems diplomacy is facing, the book also seeks to identify some practical options for reform and innovation. How might a process of reform be agreed and implemented? What role might the United Nations, regional organizations and Big Tech play? How can new norms of diplomatic behavior and methods be established in a multipolar, digital world where diplomacy is seen as less and less effective?\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePaul Webster Hare \u003c\/b\u003eis Senior Lecturer in International Relations at the Frederick S.
