TWITTER FOR DIPLOMACY
MAIN SHIFTS




Major shifts in diplomacy reflect all major shifts in ICT


Twitter and Social Media have changed the
approach: from top-down to bottom-up; from
hierarchies to networks and citizens


Twitter has given foreign policy and diplomacy
practitioners a simpler way to engage with publics
The spread of information networks is forming
a new nervous system for our planet.
When something happens in Haiti or Hunan,
the rest of us learn about it in real time – from real people.
And we can respond in real time as well.

                                                Hillary Clinton
                                                January 2010
a world in which states come apart […] and have the
ability to network or partner or make an alliance with
social actors. […] It is a horizontal world. There are no
ladders because there are no hierarchies. It is a web.
Power still exists in a web, but it is exercised from the
center, not the top.”

                                  Anne Marie Slaughter
                                          March 2012

Department of State: 23 Oct 2007   475,000

Susan Rice: 28 January 2009        268,000

The White House: 10 April 2009     3.7 mil

Alec Ross: 14 Oct 2009             378,500
300   The secretary [John Kerry] is really
      committed to using these tools to
      help us advance our diplomatic
400   goals… It’s going to continue to
      make our diplomats more effective
      in today’s world

TRAINING
& THE POWER OF IDEAS
WHY AMBASSADORS LOVE TO TWEET?
BOLD




ORGANIC




ENGAGING
The policy should not be ‘thou shall
tweet’. If you’re not comfortable
with it, don’t use it.

                           Alec Ross
                          March 2013
THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT




PLAN                      BROADCAST
LISTEN


    INTERACT

         INSPIRE

             INNOVATE

                   HAVE
                      FUN
RISKS AND BENEFITS



Getting it wrong could start a war: imagine if a
diplomat misguidedly tweeted a link to that
offensive anti-Islam film. Getting it right has the
potential to rewrite the diplomatic rulebook.


Tom Fletcher
October 2012
ITALIAN FOR COMMON SENSE
DO BENEFITS OUTWEIGHT RISKS?

IS VISIBILITY A RISK?

WHO TO PUT IN CHARGE?

DO WE NEED A SYSTEM OF CHECK AND BALANCES?



                        IS VISIBILITY A BENEFIT?

              ARE WE READY FOR TWITTER?

 IS TWITTER MOLDING INTO MORE THAN A
                MICRO BLOGGING SITE?
