Für das jüngst erschienene Handbuch "Digitale Ethik" habe ich einen Beitrag zur "Digital Diplomacy" beigesteuert. #DigitalDiplomacy ist die Fortsetzung der #PublicDiplomacy im digitalen Raum – und angesichts der desaströsen Weltlage notwendig wie selten. Ich lege in meinem Beitrag die kommunikativen und politischen Konzepte der Digital Diplomacy dar und zeige ihre ethischen Bezüge auf, u.a. mit Teilhard de Chardin und Garton Ash.
