Science Diplomacy in the Making: Case-based insights from the S4D4C project

Abstract

Science Diplomacy in the Making: Case-based insights from the S4D4C project is a volume of compiled results of the nine case studies, researched and developed by mixed teams of researchers from the project partners, and edited by Mitchell Young (Charles University), Tim Flink (DZHW) and Elke Dall (ZSI). These case studies are at the empirical heart of the S4D4C project (Horizon 2020 grant agreement No 770342; Using Science for/in Diplomacy for Addressing Global Challenges), informing many other parts of the project such as the work on a governance framework and training materials for science diplomats. Each case study provides an overview of the case and its background, context and governance arrangements, further providing a description of the stakeholder landscape and a discussion of governance practices. They look at the EU level as well as selected examples from the national level that vary case to case. The case studies examine the use of knowledge, the relations between governance levels and provide a discussion on how the case improves or changes our understanding of science diplomacy. ; Project website: https://www.s4d4c.eu/science-diplomacy-in-the-making-case-based-insights-from-the-s4d4c-project
