In January 2021, DiploFoundation held the introductory session of its new series of open monthly Zoom discussions on the evolution of diplomacy and technology titled Diplomacy and Technology: A historical journey. 

The main aim of the series is to anchor current debates on artificial intelligence and the digital in a wider context of how humanity dealt with the emergence of new technologies in the past, and how we should/can deal with it today.  

*Le français suit

When did diplomatic practice start? How did our ancestors solve conflicts? Are humans biologically more prone to conflicts or cooperation?

SYMPOSIUM ON “RETHINKING ALIENATION BEYOND THE PANDEMIC FROM LOCAL TO GLOBAL: THE NEW NORMAL FROM THEORY TO PRACTICE"

Over the course of the 20th century and into the 21st, cinema, television, and related media have become increasingly central both to individual lives and to the lives of peoples, groups, and nations. Cinema has become a major form of cultural expression and films both reflect and influence the attitudes and behaviour of people, representing their tensions and anxieties, hopes and desires and incarnating social and cultural determinants of the era in which they were made.
