Digital Diplomacy

We live in an era of pervasive connectivity. At an astonishing pace, much of the world’s population is joining a common network. The proliferation of communications and information technology creates very significant changes for statecraft. But we have to keep in mind that the Internet is not a magic potion for political and social progress. Technology by itself is agnostic. It simply amplifies the existing sociologies on the ground, for good or ill. And it is much better at organizing protest movements than organizing institutions to support new governments in place of those that have been toppled. Diplomacy in the twenty-first century must grapple with both the potential and the limits of technology in foreign policy, and respond to the disruptions that it causes in international relations.

Digital Diplomacy

Digitalization as a new theoretical concept is actively used by researchers to evaluate economic, socio-political and other processes in a contemporary society. Digitalization, infiltrating the system of international relations, changes not only the principles of international communications, but also its tools. Peculiarities, risks, and prospects of digitalization in particular spheres and society as a whole, are actively explored in various branches of science, however, digitalization of economy, business processes, social institutions, society and humans remain priority issues. To analyze digitalization, academic science uses comparative and system analysis. In particular, to determine the tools that contribute to the growth of “soft power” in the digital society, secondary data analysis is used. In the context of digital transformation of the system of international relations, the scope and range of “soft power” tools are expanding. In addition, digitalization is adapting the tools of “soft power” to the modern system of international relations, so one of the important tools and factors in the growth of “soft power” becomes digital diplomacy. The authors of the article define “digital diplomacy” as a foreign policy instrument, which implies flexible forms of interaction between actors in international relations using new forms of mass communication and network technologies with the aim of influencing the world discourse on pressing issues, promoting national interests and producing an operational response to the latest information challenges. It has been established that the growth of the country’s “soft power” correlates with the introduction of digitalization tools, however, soft digital influence can lead to negative consequences, namely the appearance and mass distribution of fake news, manipulation of the global agenda, and digital inequality, inter alia. The development of objective criteria and methods for distinguishing between legitimate and illegitimate digital instruments of “soft power” of a country is a further direction in the research of the phenomenon of “soft power” digitalization.

What is meant by new media simply are digital media in order to distinguish them from traditional (interactive), interactive (Internet) and networked (digital) media. We live in a new digital world in which communicative knowledge has increased, especially by boys and young men, and an interactive atmosphere has been created, as there are many media outlets, and the owners of messages have multiplied with them, and their media materials have varied, which include the chaff, the fat, the good, the bad, the truthful and the liar. Countries, researchers and specialists should search for the essence of these media in terms of form and content, especially in our Arab world which, unfortunately, is consumed and not innovated, and this is what makes us deepen the search for these means and know the content of the material they broadcast and verify their effects, the truth of those behind them, and determine the goals that They want to reach it, Shedding light on digital diplomacy and modern means of communication and its importance in political work and international relations is a very important issue, and how does it play this role? How can it be invested, and discover its ability to reach all segments of society

The aim of the article is to reconceptualize the political science heritage of V.L. Tsymbursky in the context of digitalization of legitimation, international relations and geopolitics. At the same time, political science reconceptualization was originally understood as a refinement, adjustment of the previous political science conceptual schemes in the changed conditions. The principles of discourse analysis of three analyzed arrays of specialized literature (works of the Tsymbursky himself, studies of other authors on the works of Tsymbursky, works in the field of legitimation and digitalization) and Case Study of modern facts of legitimation of political regimes in the context of digitalization of international relations were used as a basic methodological toolkit for reconceptualization. The analysis made it possible to conditionally divide the geopolitical schemes of a political scientist into «island» and «cyclical» schemes, as well as highlight a specific scheme of «fact-recognition». Reconceptualization of the «Island of Russia» and «Great Limitroph» schemes is determined by the possibility of adapting to the analysis of the phenomenon of digital sovereignty associated with the consolidation of «island» features of regimes in the information space and the conditions of information wars of regimes in limitrophic countries. It has been determined that the schemes «Abduction of Europe» and «Extra-long military cycles» can be useful in identifying the correlations of crises of legitimizing formulas with constitutional cycles and cycles of foreign policy activity of the regimes. In parallel, it was found that the most important, umbrella, interdisciplinary nature is precisely the «fact-recognition» scheme. It allows you to link the analysis of digitalization of international relations, sovereignty with the theory of legitimation. As conclusions, it is indicated that the digitalization of international relations has led to an exaggerated role of external legitimation of the regime, «sovereignty of recognition» by other regimes, weakening the meaning of «sovereignty of fact» and reducing the monopoly of internal legitimation. The digitalization of international relations was also found to have shaken the former monopoly of top-down political legitimation. The factors of information, fake wars, challenges of digital diplomacy forced the elites to look for ways to establish an upward legitimation of their regimes, allowing elements of an empowerment strategy. The theoretical significance of the carried out political science reconceptualization is seen in the serious prospects for adapting Tsymbursky's geopolitical schemes to the actual analysis of modern digitalization of various forms of political legitimation and international relations.

The proliferation of new media has been hailed by academics and practitioners worldwide as a revolution in the conduct of international relations, with dialogical, reconciliatory, and democratizing potentials. Several years later, however, the evidence for such progressive potentialities is scarce. To better understand the actualized role of social media in international politics and deepen our understanding of the potentialities for progressive politics online, this article examines several examples of digital diplomacy initiatives by state and non-state actors. These examples highlight the growing political significance of online visibility management techniques — i.e., the various techno-political interventions by which actors attempt to make their messages accessible on online platforms. While early citizen-driven initiatives, such as the ‘Israel-Loves-Iran’ Facebook campaign, focused on strategic content production as a means to enhance their online visibility, later initiatives, such as the public-private partnership ‘4IL’, directed their efforts towards connectivity manipulation using medium-specific techniques which contest the visibility of others. This article concludes by arguing that fulfilling the progressive potentialities of digital diplomacy in this political terrain would not only require complementing content production with an effective engagement with the visibility arrangements of the platforms, but also a critical analytics of techno-social inclusions and exclusions, which this dual task generates.
