WHERE is Science Diplomacy happening?
Practiced by BRIC (Brazil, Russia, China, India) countries…Viewed as Western phenomena used for resourcesNeeds to be extended to other emerging states-Rwanda

HOW is Science Diplomacy Practiced?
“Scientific approach to diplomacy, not diplomatic approach to science…”Involve local scientist –Academies, SEED project Do place-based science: Arg, energy efficiency, malaria

HOW is Science Diplomacy Practiced?
Integrate big ”P”(politics) with small “p” (programming)
Integration that is iterative - all sectors doing the dance
Science not a replacement for politics….
Politics Programming

HOW is Science Diplomacy Practiced?
1. Regional Prominence (China+ India)
2. Capacity Development (education)
Five Elements to SD framework:
3. Joint Infrastructure Development(Research Satellites, LHC, SESAME)
4. Open Access Knowledge Distribution
5. Public Engagement (Civilian Power)

Barriers to Science Diplomacy
1. Asymmetries in S&T capacity
2. Economic/security concerns to technology/knowledege access
3. Restrictions on exchange (visa)
4. S&T budgets in decline worldwide
5. Degree classicism (what’s in a name?)
