Summary/Abstract |
Science and technology (S&T), both its practice and products, is becoming increasingly important to international relations and diplomacy. Therefore, the capacity to understand “science diplomacy”1 is necessary for foreign policy experts and practitioners to use it effectively. The formal and informal education and training of international relations professionals defined broadly, which includes professional diplomats and international science managers, are key components of increasing this capacity. Education and training ranges from courses affiliated with foreign ministries, such as the U.S. Department of State’s Foreign Service Institute (FSI), to postgraduate programs at schools of public policy and international relations

Summary/Abstract |
When a person collapses in public, strangers rush to help. When a person manifests symptoms of mental illness in public, strangers look away or cross the street. Sadly, this all-to-common response by individuals could be a metaphor for official policy in much of the world. Most policy makers avoid engaging or investing in mental health programs, preferring to draw distinctions between mental health and somatic health. This is largely a product of stigma and ignorance about the causes of mental illness and potential treatments. It is true in America and other wealthy countries, and even more so in poorer countries
