Non Technological & non state actos --- Thank you Efrat and Tim for taking time to respond to this HT , indeed non sates actors involvement in national and international dialogues is not limited to Tech companies although the later continue facilitating communications , interactions and outreach. In my opinion Governments are loosing space as they lack the technical know how in some areas and also due the globalization that empowered new actors and affected the balance of economic power in the world. While global companies are expanding their markets local and small business in developing countries struggle to survive and even though we see an increasing awareness of non sates actors not all of them are invited to the table to talk !
