In today’s increasingly interconnected, digitalised, and globalised world, the technological advancements have led to new forms of practices of corruption and digital crime. As such, new innovative approaches must be adopted to combat corruption on an international scale. Multilateral diplomatic efforts become increasingly relevant in addressing this important issue, resulting in the nexus between technology, diplomacy, and anti-corruption becoming more apparent than ever.
The disruptive effect of rapid digitalisation on current processes and practices has led to an increased focus in the world of international relations and security on cybercrime and digital diplomacy. The modern fast-paced environment binds diplomacy and anti-corruption in a mutually dependent circle: diplomatic success is impossible with corruption looming…while anti-corruption efforts are hindered if diplomatic activities are weak.

Background
In the 21st century, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) lie at the core of the work of the United Nations. In this era of contemporary challenges of incredible magnitudes, diplomacy necessitates a practice that acknowledges, at the very least, a sustainable lens.
Development and Diplomacy are two fields that need each other to fulfill their goals. In this respect, UNITAR and the University for Peace (UPEACE) partnered to launch the Master of Arts in Development Studies and Diplomacy.
