A broader description --- Honestly, none of them fully satisfies my understanding of scientific diplomacy. The 2nd no because it only refers to state actors - and in the previous paper (Lord, Turekian, 2007) we have seen how civil society is key in scientific diplomacy (at least for this era). The 3rd is fine, but I'm questioning that not only science is suitable to promote peaceful relations between countrie (e.g. cultural diplomacy). The 1st is correct, but I think that the scientific diplomacy this course wants to teach is a broader concept than cross-border scientific cooperation.
