Science Advice &amp; Diplomacy (STEP0003)

In the 21st century, science, technology and innovation (STI) are increasingly driving many aspects of human endeavor and interaction, constantly reshaping economic development and international relations. Science diplomacy is therefore a fast-growing and exciting field of study and practice seeking to understand and promote the linkages between science and international affairs to address national and global challenges. This module will help you understand the way that science and diplomacy interact, delve into some of the latest developments in the field, and explore the skills that are needed at these interfaces. 
It will introduce the various science diplomacy conceptual frameworks and the diversity of actors in this realm, from state-led science diplomacy to the role of international organizations, NGOs, and  informal scientific networks. It will also pay particular attention to science advice in foreign affairs as well as in multilateral negotiations and international organizations. Issues of international governance of science, Big Science and the latest developments around STI in the UN system will be explored. 
The course will be a mix of lectures, contributions from guest-speakers, case studies from various STI topical areas, group work, role-play, and other forms of experiential approaches. The course is open to students within UCL STEaPP and across UCL undergraduate and postgraduate courses, and diverse sets of educational backgrounds are welcomed given the transdisciplinary nature of the field.
