In today’s highly advanced technological age, the combination of diplomacy and digital tools has become crucial for countries in their relations within the international community. African countries, with their different landscapes, histories, and development paths, are right in the middle of this change. This lecture explores the complex world of diplomacy in Africa, which is shaped by numerous geopolitical interests and a diverse range of cultures, and aims to carefully examine how digital diplomacy affects Africa. It will address key issues such as digital inclusion, cyber security, and cultural sensitivity. By examining specific case studies, this lecture adds to our understanding of the role of digital diplomacy on the global stage.

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
