In a world increasingly governed by code, how do states preserve influence, identity, and agency?

Cognitive Diplomacy and Digital Autonomy: Statecraft in the Age of Artificial Intelligence explores how artificial intelligence is reshaping the foundations of international relations. From algorithmic negotiation to AI-driven soft power, this book offers a strategic framework; rooted in the triad of presence, practice, and resilience for navigating diplomacy in the digital age. With case studies from the Global South, and beyond, it reveals how emerging powers are crafting new paths to sovereignty and global relevance.

Balancing theoretical insight with real-world application, this timely work charts the contours of a new diplomatic era, where cognitive environments matter as much as material ones, and digital autonomy is the new currency of strategic independence.

Essential reading for scholars, diplomats, and decision-makers confronting the frontiers of AI and global order.
