In this episode, our host Matthias Catón interviews Matthias Lüfkens, a veteran social media expert. They talk about using social media as a means of public diplomacy. How do governments and world leaders use it, what should they avoid, and why can it be such a powerful tool?
Of course, they also discuss how business leaders could and should use social media (notably Twitter) to make their voices heard in global affairs.
