“…Based on the literature and examples from other countries and in other contexts, we have called for a new approach to using Science Diplomacy, going beyond the traditional state-centric Science Diplomacy and suggesting better linkages between diaspora diplomacy and Science Diplomacy. Science Diplomacy itself is changing and there is a strong case for “Data Driven” “Science Diplomacy 2.0” (Turchetti and Lalli, 2020 ). Our approach is that Science Diplomacy should use strategically the data regarding STEM diaspora going beyond the creation of and usage of NRI/PIO databases.…”

Utilizing the expertise and knowledge resources of the diaspora, particularly the scientific diaspora, has been part of the strategies of many countries. In the recent years, realizing the importance of the potential of the diaspora to contribute to national development and Science, Technology, and Innovation ecosystem, countries have used Science Diplomacy also to engage with the scientific diaspora. Science Diplomacy is hailed as an enabler and facilitator and is often seen in the context of international S&T collaboration or big science projects. But the use of Science Diplomacy for diaspora engagement calls for specific strategies and meaningful initiatives. India is one of the major developing countries that has given a major thrust to engaging with the scientific diaspora. India is also a leading player in the global Science Diplomacy arena. This article critically examines India's initiatives and strategies for engagement with the scientific diaspora. It points out that the Science Diplomacy dimension is missing in this. Using examples from other countries, recent thinking, and developments in Science Diplomacy, this study outlines an approach with some examples of strategies and initiatives for harnessing Science Diplomacy to enhance engagement with the scientific diaspora and create a win-win milieu for India and the diaspora. The approach takes into account the proposed and ongoing initiatives in emerging technologies in India, including quantum technologies and Artificial Intelligence. Such a framework will create a synergy among various programs and initiatives by using Science Diplomacy as a facilitator and catalyst. Under this framework, Diaspora is involved not only as experts and contributors to scientific advancements but also as stakeholders. This dual role of the STI Diaspora can bring a paradigm shift in traditional understanding and use of science diplomacy, particularly to engage and harness the potential of the STI Diaspora for Sustainable Development.

Techno‐nationalism or building a global science and technology commons? (but what about China?)

As a cold war with China heats up, the U.S. and other members of the G7 need new approaches to their science and technology innovation (STI) policies. Dominance on the innovation frontier is no longer possible through traditional techno‐nationalist policies that view nations as ‘competing’ through exclusive STI development. Instead, we must recognise that talent and intellectual property are globally distributed, and thus build global collaborations that draw on the world's greatest talent while providing benefits equitably in a global STI commons. We need to recognise this new reality, not only for the benefits this would confer on humankind, but also to contend with China's growing STI capabilities and, eventually perhaps, integrating China into a system of global collaboration. Additionally, and importantly, national policies must recognise the geographically untethered operations of multinational enterprises that are the developers and/or repositories of STI but have weak ties to any one nation, thus blunting policies that try to contain STI within a country's borders. In this paper, we suggest approaches to advance these goals for global STI based on theories and cases of collective action.

“…Following the literature that touches upon various circuits, different contexts and meanings (Bergwik, 2018;Heidenblad, 2019;Hellman, 2020;Jacobsen & Olšáková, 2020, pp. 467-468;Kunkel, 2021, p. 481;Šime, 2021a;Turchetti & Lalli, 2020) and country-specific approaches towards soft power (Winkler, 2020), neither ESG nor science diplomacy are treated as monolithic and monotonous topics of scholarly enquiry.…”

Earth system governance and science diplomacy: commonalities of emerging shapers of institutions

Earth System Governance (ESG) is a broadly formulated network of research agencies and governance bodies which aims to integrate science with policy and governance as a means of managing environmental change. Taking into consideration the broader context of ongoing attempts to define optimal solutions for major contemporary challenges, a comparison of ESG and science diplomacy focuses on four commonalities. The purpose of this comparison is to explore mutual learning opportunities because both strands of enquiry aim at addressing the global challenges in a comprehensive manner through tailored relations between science or research and policy or diplomacy. ESG and science diplomacy share an interest in exploring the top-down and bottom-up dynamics of multi-level governance, circulation of ideas, terms, including the expansion of their meanings, experimentation outside the existing institutional structures, as well as anticipation of future developments. A primary focus on Europe articulates areas where ESG and science diplomacy may find thematic intersections for mutual learning.
