| December 8, 2015

Technological changes have drastically reduced the size of the globe.

Dr. Farah Pandith, Senior Fellow at the Future of Diplomacy Project examines these questions which are at the core of the 2015 LEAD Research Series study, "Networked Foreign Policy: How leaders can drive change in the digital age" co-authored by the Future of Diplomacy Project's Executive Director, Cathryn Cluver.
