In an increasingly multipolar world, science diplomacy is a tool that can hold us together when everything else is pulling us apart. In this essential narrative, Drs. Agre and Yasmin show the way forward for those willing to work at the intersection of science and international relations.
Peter Agre has been where most politicians fear to tread. His book shows how science transcends geographical and political boundaries and creates relationships that last.
...brilliantly illuminates the common bond of humanity in dealing with global challenges. Agre provides intriguing details of scientists at work in all corners of the world who have contributed by bringing their science, practical solutions, and keen observations to diplomacy.
In a time of rising global tensions and eroding trust between nations, Agre's accounts reveal how scientists have shaped pivotal moments in international affairs. These stories remind us that scientific and political partnerships can create unlikely openings where traditional diplomacy stalls.
Renowned Nobel Laureate Dr. Peter Agre and science communicator Dr. Seema Yasmin team up to offer new paths for leveraging our scientific achievements into essential and productive tools of diplomacy.
