How can you have effective open-source diplomacy when many people in the world can't access the internet? Are we now creating a new circle of "elites" and decision makers by separating between the connected and unconnected? This is an extreme idea and there are obviously other vehicles of diplomacy available to reach the unconnected but if diplomacy is moving in the open-source direction it is something to seriously consider.Kate Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16888639425315325929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4731975187482863472.post-61185430047488667392009-11-29T16:38:24.651-08:002009-11-29T16:38:24.651-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Kate Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16888639425315325929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4731975187482863472.post-18043284485544628122009-11-25T09:15:08.580-08:002009-11-25T09:15:08.580-08:00Hi Zoe!

While reading the Fisher piece, my main concern was that this new form of public diplomacy relied heavily on advanced ICTs and that many of the places where the US could use this new form of public diplomacy are areas of the world that do not have great access or use of the internet. I still wonder though if open source diplomacy really has the potential for influence that both Fisher and Corman, et al. foresee. Is it not just another assumption about how the audience or in this case the participants will react to this new communication style?Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09163185359902215363noreply@blogger.com
