•
1 like•1,589 views
Social media and pervasive technology may impact closed-door, high-level peace negotiations in the future as radical transparency increases. Livestreams from negotiations could influence fragile societies undergoing discussions about identity and resources. Additionally, digital natives may approach justice, reconciliation, and outcomes differently than past frameworks. Overall, social media presents challenges like the potential weaponization of the technology, but it also provides opportunities such as using big data for context on the underlying drivers of conflict and peace.
