Naked Diplomacy: Power and Statecraft in the Digital Age

Who will be in power in the 21st century? Governments? Big business? Internet titans? And how do we influence the future? Digital technology is changing power at a faster rate than any time in history. Distrust and inequality are fuelling political and economic uncertainty. The scaffolding built around the global order is fragile, and the checks and balances created over centuries to protect liberty are being tested, maybe to destruction. Tom Fletcher, the youngest senior British ambassador for two hundred years, considers how we – as governments, businesses, individuals – can survive and thrive in the twenty first century. And how we can ensure that technology can make it easier of citizens truly to take back control. Naked Diplomacy by Tom Fletcher, the Sunday Times bestselling author, is a comprehensive exploration of the future of power in the digital age. His unique insights into international relations, drawn from his experience as the youngest senior British ambassador, make this book a top choice for those interested in the subject. For fans of Rory Stewart (The Places In Between), Michael Bhaskar (Human Frontiers), Robert Peston (WTF?), Dr. Fiona Hill (There Is Nothing for You Here), and John Brownlow (The History and Objects of the Foundling Hospital).
