Особенности цифровой публичной дипломатии международных организаций. Аналитический обзор коллективной монографии «Цифровая дипломатия международных организаций. Автономность, легитимность и конкуренция» под редакцией Р. Зайотти и К. Бйолы
The article is devoted to a critical review of the collective monograph "Digital Diplomacy and International Organizations" [Zaiotti, Bjola (ed.) 2020]. The authors of the collective monograph depart from the state-centric approach that is characteristic of most studies in the field of digital diplomacy, and consider international government organizations as subjects of communication. The monograph contributes to the study of the role of international organizations in modern international relations, and also allows us to assess the potential of digital diplomacy in increasing their legitimacy and autonomy in the international arena. It has been proven that diplomacy allows international organizations to compensate for the lack of "hard power" in the international arena, increasing the potential for their influence on world political processes.
The article also discusses a number of controversial topics raised in the monograph, including the question of the correctness and validity of using the terms disinformation and fake news. Based on the analysis, promising areas of research in the field of digital diplomacy are outlined, in particular, the problems associated with the digital diplomacy of international organizations working in the field of healthcare, which is especially relevant in modern conditions.
