What can we learn from cases where higher education and research institutions have led initiatives that build much more than a link between two universities, and contribute to bilateral or multilateral relations?

Dr Jane Knight presents her thoughts in this discussion paper and looks into a number of practical examples where higher education takes the lead in ‘the new diplomacy’.

This paper presents an opportunity to discuss the concept of knowledge diplomacy further, and move towards a consensual definition and understanding of knowledge diplomacy and its potential impact.
