scientists in diplomatic negotiations --- I'm tempted to say: well it depends what you mean by diplomacy. I guess you mean interstate negotiations or what could be considered 'traditional diplomacy', Souhila. Three areas come to mind: (a) advising within the foreign ministry (by being seconded for example), being part the national delegation of a country (the climate change negotiations, COP, are a great example), and serving as science attachés (we discuss this further down in the text). What do others think, anything missing from my ad-hoc typology here?
