The World Needs a Long-Term Strategy for Defeating Extremism

| December 8, 2015

Technological changes have drastically reduced the size of the globe. The rapid growth of digital connectivity has allowed information to spread at a previously unknown pace and has led to greater transparency by governments and greater civic engagement by populations across the globe. This increased access to information has also made an already complex world even more complicated. What do these technological changes mean for decision making in foreign policy? 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.
