Summary of the 2010 E-diplomacy Initiative

Diplo’s 2010 E-diplomacy Initiative consisted of awareness building/launch events in the main diplomatic centres and an International Conference on E-diplomacy (Malta, 3-4 June 2010). The initiative created  momentum for courses, research and community discussion on e-diplomacy. Many of the issues discussed during the events and conference (social media, security, openness vs discretion in diplomacy) became quite topical during the public discussion on Wikileaks and diplomacy.
