Leveraging Innovation and Partnerships - Insights from the U.S. Department of State
We had an opportunity to speak with two public servants pursuing innovative approaches to achieving U.S. foreign policy goals. Both our guests play a role in forging Secretary of State Clinton’s vision of 21st century statecraft, which posits that traditional frameworks of statecraft can no longer meet the global challenges of today. it is a belief that we are no longer bound by natural borders or vast distances. it is a perspective that seeks to maximize the potential of technology and innovation. “We find ourselves living at a moment in human history,” declares Secretary Clinton, “when we have the potential to engage in new and innovative forms of diplomacy and to also use them to help individuals be empowered for their own development.”
