This is a GREAT insights podcast. The Magazine this month looked at New Diplomacy and Development, and as Editor San Bilal says, contrary to its traditional image, international diplomacy is a dynamic field. We feature many interesting articles ranging from: How economic diplomacy can play a role on trade and investment of developing countries; to Ghana’s challenges in a new diplomatic environment by a former Ghanian Ambassador to the EU.

In this podcast Clem Silverman is joined by his colleague Dr Bruce Byiers and and our guest Dr Huub Ruel, to talk about his article on how African countries need to get on with the business of diplomacy.

Thanks for listening. Our new website http://www.ECDPM.org is launching on the 1st of April, be sure to find all the GREAT insights issues there, and subscribe to ECDPM’s updates.
