This book addresses the understudied phenomenon of why and how contemporary international higher education, research and innovation can contribute to strengthening international relations. The author proposes the concept of knowledge diplomacy and carefully examines its fundamental rationales, actors, principles, instruments, and strategies. This is the first book that compares the similarities and differences between knowledge diplomacy and related terms such as soft power, cultural diplomacy, science diplomacy and public diplomacy to capture the expanding role of international higher education and research in bilateral and multilateral relations. The analysis of initiatives from around the world helps to ground and illustrate the key features of a knowledge diplomacy approach.

"From a top healthcare futurist, frontline innovator, and Deloitte consultant comes a road map to Humanizing Healthcare-hardwiring humanity at every point of care-a cultural transformation that is good for people and good for business. Without meaning to do so, the healthcare industry continues to injure people-patients and clinicians-physically, emotionally, mentally, financially, spiritually, and socially.

She not only provides a guide for how the industry can transform to embody a more human perspective, using data and technology, she also illustrates how using Humanizing Healthcare as a collective North Star will positively impact all stakeholders: consumers, providers, caregivers, staff, executives, shareholders, and the government alike.
