SCIENTIFIC DIPLOMACY AS A MEANS OF PROMOTING NATIONAL POLICY IN THE SPHERE OF SCIENCE AND EDUCATION IN THE INTERNATIONAL ARENA
Abstract
The article examines the potential of scientific diplomacy as a means of promoting national policy in the sphere of science and education in the international arena.
It is noted that the term “scientific diplomacy” has recently entered the categorical and conceptual apparatus of scientists around the world as part of public diplomacy. At the same time, scientists have begun to substantiate the extraordinary possibilities of scientific diplomacy, in particular in strengthening the positions of any country in the international educational space.
The analysis of scientific research by foreign and domestic scientists on scientific diplomacy was carried out, and it was concluded that almost all of them date back to the 21st century and cover various aspects of the problem: its emergence, interpretation of basic terms, substantiation of extraordinary possibilities in joint solving of global world problems by scientists, etc.
It is emphasised that modern Ukrainian scientists, especially the younger generation of scientists, are more thoroughly mastering the basics of scientific diplomacy, and some higher education institutions in Ukraine have introduced systematic mastery by students of a wide range of problematic issues that are one way or another related to scientific diplomacy.
The example of Kherson State University is given, where for students of the third (educational and scientific) level of higher education since 2021, the educational component “Modern Educational Technologies and Scientific Diplomacy” has been introduced, during the mastery of which postgraduate students study the topic “The Role of Scientific Diplomacy in the Development and Stabilisation of International Relations in the Field of Education”. Detailed information on this issue is provided.
The conclusions are drawn that scientific diplomacy has significant potential for promoting the national interests of Ukraine and strengthening its positions in the international arena. The prospects for further scientific research are related to how, thanks to scientific diplomacy, to return to the world arena a vector directed towards Ukraine.
