It's about How ICT's contribute to conflict and cooperation. It's a general slide, not very technical or academic. Just a quick go through.

2. Does Interaction cause conflicts?
Will ICT’s enhance cooperation and help
us shaping a peaceful world?
ICT’s is peace and prosperity?

3.  Security is a contested concept.
 The meaning of security has been broadened to include political, economic,
societal, and environmental, as well ass military, aspects.
 Differing arguments exist about the tension b/w national and international
security.
 Different views have also emerged about the significance of globalization for
the future of int. security.
 Realists and neo-realists emphasize the perennial problem of insecurity.
 The ‘security dilemma’ is seen by some writers as the essential source of
conflict b/w states.
 Neo realists reject the significance of international institutions in helping
many to achieve peace and security.

4.  Contemporary politicians and academics see institutions as an imp
mechanism for achieving international security.
 Liberal institutionalists accept many of the assumptions of realism about the
continuing of military power in ir but argue that institutions can provide a
framework for cooperation that can help to mitigate the dangers of security
 competition between states.
 Constructivist thinkers base their ideas on two assumptions :that the
fundamental structures of international politics are socially constructs and
other that the way we think about IR can help to bring about greater
international security.
 Critical security theorists argue that most approaches put too much
emphasis on the state.
 Feminist writers argue that gender tends to be left out of the literature on the
international security, despite the impact of war on women.

7.  Most innovations come incrementally, with modest changes in
products, processes and business models.
 But approximately every half century a new technology system
emerges that changes everything.
 Steam power
 Railroads
 Steel and Electricity
 ICT

8.  ICT leads to job growth. Firms in low- and
middle-income countries that use more ICT
have faster sales and job growth, as well as
higher productivity growth. (World Bank,
2005)
 ICT capital has 7 times the impact on
productivity than non-ICT capital in nations
with lower levels of IT usage, and around 3
times more in other nations. (Nathan
Associates, 2007)

15. Grass-root lobbying.
Social & Economic networking theories.
Organizational VS Personal Branding.
Track III Diplomacy at Multi and Bilateral
levels.

16.  Traditionally, the term "diplomacy" referred to
interaction between nation-states. More
recently, however, scholars have delineated
several levels of diplomacy. Tracks 1 and 2
are the most frequently used terms. A
composite term is multitrack diplomacy.
 Track 1 diplomacy: Official discussions
typically involving high-level political and
military leaders and focusing on cease-fires,
peace talks, and treaties and other
agreements.

17.  Track 2 diplomacy: Unofficial dialogue and problem-solving
activities aimed at building relationships and encouraging new
thinking that can inform the official process. Track 2 activities
typically involve influential academic, religious, and NGO leaders
and other civil society actors who can interact more freely than high-
ranking officials. Some analysts use the term track 1.5 to denote a
situation in which official and non-official actors work together to
resolve conflicts.
 Track 3 diplomacy: People-to-people diplomacy undertaken by
individuals and private groups to encourage interaction and
understanding between hostile communities and involving
awareness raising and empowerment within these communities.
Normally focused at the grassroots level, this type of diplomacy often
involves organizing meetings and conferences, generating media
exposure, and political and legal advocacy for marginalized people
and communities.

18.  Multitrack diplomacy: A term for operating
on several tracks simultaneously, including
official and unofficial conflict resolution efforts,
citizen and scientific exchanges, international
business negotiations, international cultural
and athletic activities, and other cooperative
efforts. These efforts could be led by
governments, professional organizations,
businesses, churches, media, private citizens,
training and educational institutes, activists,
and funders.

Pakistan and India
has a greater potential
for peace under
