Digital lobbying discussions in Brussels

Digital Diplomacy originated from the growing use of ICTs and social media by a state in order to achieve its foreign policies. However, it was only limited within the public sphere. With the Covid-19 spreading across the world, the economic perspective of Digital Diplomacy came into the spotlight. What are the consequences of Digital Diplomacy? How to embrace Digital Diplomacy in the Post Covid-19 Era? Those are questions worth exploring. The presentation introduces some digital lobbying discussions in Brussels as well, to guide the right direction of Digital Diplomacy under political context.
