From the modeling of social behavior to computational diplomacy
Abstract: Computational sciences offer an unprecedented way to describe, analyze and understand a vast body of new problems and offers new scientific opportunities. Mathematics is often considered as the “grammar of sciences”. Modern computational methods extend the scope of this claim by moving the frontiers from the natural sciences [...]
Fostering interdisciplinary collaboration in computational diplomacy: A multi-layered network approach to improve our understanding of institutional complexity and effective governance design
Abstract:While the study of global governance is moving from a focus on component-dominated to interaction-dominated systems, the present paper reviews development in governance theories from a complexity perspective and discuss how governance systems can be represented in terms of multi-layered networks.Such representation is useful to foster interdisciplinary collaborations between researchers [...]
Emergent patterns in global health diplomacy: a network analysis of the resolutions adopted by the World Health Assembly from 1948 to 2022
Abstract: From a complexity perspective on governance, multilateral diplomacy is based on interactions between people, ideas, norms, policies and institutions. This article uses a computer-assisted methodology to better understand governance systems as a network of norms. All World Health Assembly (WHA) resolutions that were available from 1948 to 2022 [...]
When Computational Power Meets Diplomacy: Training a New Generation of Scientists in Diplomacy and Diplomats in Science
The increase of computer power and the development of new algorithms is currently pushing the scientific investigation to new frontiers. This is particularly promising in the field of diplomacy where the complexification of international relations calls for new approaches to understand how humanity can collectively address contemporary global challenges.
