    Is the increasing use of digital technologies in foreign policy fundamentally altering the way in which foreign policy is made and implemented? How are digital technologies contributing to reshape geopolitics? To what extent do digital technologies enhance international cooperation? Can they support multilateralism, or do they create new digital divides and even a new form of colonialism? Listen to a conversation between a practitioner, a think tanker and an academic to help us understand the future (and the present) of digital foreign policy.
