註釋The AIIA has released the April 2011 Policy Commentary entitled "ICT4IR: International Relations in the Digital Age” which focuses on the impact of Information and communication technology (ICT) on international relations. In this volume, Dr Alison Broinowski comments on WikiLeaks from the perspective of a former Australian diplomat; she analyses the polarised and often immoderate reaction to WikiLeaks and its founder, Julian Assange. Fergus Hanson outlines the potential for ICT to assist the work of foreign ministries, particularly in public diplomacy, and the adaptation that will be required of them. Professor Anthony Billingsley evaluates the immediate and longer-term contribution of social media to the current wave of change in the Middle East and North Africa. Finally, Dr Myriam Dunn Cavelty identifies the pervasive narrative of cyberthreat and looks at the case of the Stuxnet worm; her conclusion is to focus on mitigation rather than succumb to fear of ‘cyberdoom’. Together these contributors aim to spark discussion, not to end it.
