International Conference on
Web-Management in Diplomacy | |
|
In recent years, as the importance of the Internet has grown and the number of users increased, the Internet has become an important public diplomacy tool for diplomatic services, and also for non-governmental organisations, international organisations and others who present their views about international developments to the public. While the importance of the Internet for public diplomacy has greatly increased, knowledge of techniques for web-development, in many cases, has not. Many diplomatic services have entered this terra nulius and developed websites without any previous knowledge or experience, using a trial-and-error approach. While this approach sufficed during the early phases of web-development, the increasing demand for information via the web, as well as the increasing quantity of information available require a professional and consistent management approach. Now is an appropriate time to reflect and draw lessons from past experience with web-development. We should note mistakes to avoid and mark paths for continuing development. DiploProjects has organised the International Conference on Web-Management in Diplomacy with the aim of creating a forum for discussion of all issues related to web-management in the field of diplomacy.
