<p style="margin:0px 0px 24px;line-height:1.7;padding:0px">The recent conflict between Elon Musk and the Brazilian government has sparked heated debate on freedom of expression. Many commentators failed to reflect on a strategic reconfiguration of global power between governments and powerful tech companies. As these companies increasingly wield economic and social influence, rivalling that of nation-states, the implications for global diplomacy are profound.</p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 24px;line-height:1.7;padding:0px">In this book <strong>Jovan Kurbalija</strong> and <strong>Pavlina Ittelson</strong> offer a critical, informed, and impartial analysis of tech diplomacy, exploring how these dynamics challenge the traditional Westphalian system centred on nation-states. They examine the interactions between tech companies and national governments, from the Bay Area to capitals worldwide, providing a comprehensive understanding of this rapidly changing environment.</p>
