Diplomacy Monitor
Tracking Internet-based Global Diplomacy. A growing number of governments are implementing sophisticated Internet strategies to communicate their foreign affairs policies, trade initiatives, alliances and diplomatic exchanges globally as quickly as possible through websites operated by heads of state, ministries, missions, embassies and consulates, often in multiple languages. The St. Thomas University School of Law utilizes specially developed proprietary software to monitor the global output of communiqués, official statements, press briefings, position papers, interview transcripts and news releases from hundreds of diplomacy-related websites in near real-time and channel it into synthesized information streams within Diplomacy Monitor. 11

Disaster Diplomacy
Disaster-related activities can significantly influence and move along diplomatic processes which have already started, but rarely produce new diplomatic results or initiatives without other factors dominating. Disaster Diplomacy can be expanded to examine the role of disaster in international affairs and international relations as well as applying the principles and results to internal political situations. Such projects and ideas are found in the case studies and projects and ideas sections of this website. As Disaster Diplomacy embraces a wider definition, it is guided by the Radix discussion involving the links amongst disasters, human rights, and sustainability. 12

The mission of ICRD is to address identity-based conflicts that exceed the reach of traditional diplomacy by incorporating religion as part of the solution. 14
