If so, why are there so many unmitigated and unmediated crises around the world – Syria’s civil war, the carnage in Egypt, and deteriorating US-Russian relations, to name just a few. The much-ballyhooed twenty-first-century statecraft, it seems, is really not up to the job.
但社交媒体是否真的提升了外交质量或有助于解决疑难问题？如若果真如此，那叙利亚内战、埃及大屠杀及美俄关系恶化等全世界那么多未经调停的严重危机又怎么解释？很多人大肆宣扬的二十一世纪治国方略似乎并没有那么神奇。
