Abstract

The past decade has witnessed the emergence of science diplomacy,
both as a formalized set of operations and new field of
study and research (Lord and Turekian 2007, 2009). A number of
factors continue to drive this trend, but the most important
one is the recognition that more and more, major challenges are
international in nature and that science and its applications
are part of the cause as well as the cure. As a result, while much of the
international science regime is still focused on
discovery, there is an increasing need/demand for the integration of
science cooperation in international relations. This article
provides a brief overview of the evolution of science diplomacy over
the past decades (and beyond) with special focus on
recent developments. It will conclude by looking forward
