science diplomacy, foreign policy, scientific cooperation, pandemicAbstract
Science diplomacy is a foreign policy tool that has gained much relevance from opportunities such as 5G technology, but also from global threats, namely climate change and the pandemic. This work aims to analyze the advancements on science diplomacy in Global North and South countries, from two differentiated approaches: cooperation and competitiveness. It is argued that states participate in scientific cooperation, especially when facing major problems that could affect the entire international community. Furthermore, science diplomacy is used for enhancing a country’s competitiveness in the technological and energetic race.
