In this twenty-first century of digitalization, the world is changing and its impact on international life is unlimited. Digitalization is influencing the international society and imposing new challenges on international actors (states, international organizations, NGOs, and transnational corporations). Nowadays, it offers new opportunities for international and bilateral cooperation, and it reinforces the role of the emergent actors within global governance. Digitalization facilitates the inclusion of all actors in global issues.
This explains the emergence of new phenomena, such as e-diplomacy and how diplomats and international actors in general are more open to each other and also to the individuals.
