The permanent solution lies in ‘science diplomacy’
After the end of World War II, a catastrophe of heaviness and scale that paralyzed the world’s politics and economy, the world entered a new “era” called the “Great Acceleration”. Neither major nor moderate global and regional political and economic crises can prevent even more ambitious discoveries in the fields of science and technology and major changes that profoundly affect human life. We control every aspect of our lives, from the products we use to the production of goods and services, the construction of buildings, and all the vehicles that enable us to move from one point to another. We are experiencing significant technological changes related to
Nevertheless, thought leaders in the world’s political and economic fields and in the scientific community are committed to working together to create lasting solutions to the problems that have profoundly affected global politics and the economy for the past 70 years. Failure to properly assess opportunities. Global actors and institutions have not yet been able to make the scientific community a key stakeholder in the platforms that generate solutions to multilateral global problems. The main reasons are based on his three basic concepts: Second, how to use “science in diplomacy” effectively. Third, the degree to which “scientific diplomacy” will be successful.
The first issue is “science for diplomacy”, which means the powerful use of science as a soft power element between nations in global and regional diplomacy. With the COVID-19 global virus epidemic, many countries did not or could not take advantage of this opportunity. On the other hand, as always taking an inclusive approach, Turkey produced its own vaccine not only for its own people, but also to share with many developed countries and regions, especially in Africa. Henceforth, countries with strong science-producing capabilities should use science more effectively in diplomacy to focus the world of multilateral diplomacy on more positive agendas. Using science for diplomacy also means building a stronger infrastructure for global and regional peace.
A second key issue is to harness the incontrovertible evidence provided by science and science and technology in terms of global and regional issues. The evidence provided by science and technology is so specific that no country can manipulate, bend or otherwise show the current situation. For this reason, the more major political and economic powers in the world adopt science and technology-based diplomacy based on “hard evidence,” the more capable international diplomacy will be in generating solutions. A third key task is the mobilization of diplomacy for closer cooperation in the field of science and technology by the major political and economic powers of the world.
Because if developed countries are serious about eliminating the large development gaps between developed, developing and underdeveloped economies, especially for the Sustainable Development Goals, the world’s Because we must develop a global mechanism that allows us to share progress ‘fairly’. The field of science and technology that occupies most of the world. “Sci-tech nationalism” should not be confused with the ability to produce domestic and national technology. Turkey is one of the countries that shares the domestic and national technological capabilities it has achieved in many strategic areas and most sincerely expresses its call to develop technology together with countries that see the world through the same windows. It’s one. Turkey’s skill in “scientific diplomacy” will strengthen its role as a “playmaker” nation in Eurasia.
