Week3 - Articulating my argument

1) My argument

I want to argue that the Korean cyber diplomacy should be changed and developed quickly to hold a dominant position in the future. We live in a fast-changing times which  information is flooded and moved through internet.  In this society, many small and big problems are occured in cyberspace ( It can be serious problem  at the national level when just some information is leaked other countries ). and I define the cyber diplomacy that not only control overall information  in cyber space but also prepare the cyber war that can be occured. Thus, I want to emphasize the importance of cyber diplomacy and its change. 

2) How I found my argument 

I am usually interested in diplomacy, so I have a question 'What is the great diplomacy?'.
At that time, Korean Diplomatic Service was criticized because Korean Diplomatic Service did not deal with the problem in London Olympic. I knew  there is sports diplomacy in the range of diplomacy and I wondered other types of diplomacy. Then, I sought other type of diplomacy. I recognized Korean cyber diplomacy is criticized but there is just a private cyber diplomacy organization 'VANK'. But 'VANK' also focus on simple thing such as announcing Korean culture and right information about Korea. Thus, I think Korean cyber diplomacy should be changed and strong and select this argument to express my thought and persuade people.


3) New research questions 

1. How Korea government act on cyber diplomacy and waht are principles?
2. Is there Korean organization for cyber diplomacy?
3. What is the problems and evaluation of Korea cyber diplomacy?
4. How do other countries act on cyber diplomacy?
5. How can we reflect other countries's good cyber diplomacy policies in Korean policies?


4) Connections to the Harvard Sampler 

In Harvard Sampler, the auther says the influence and role of internet. Cyber diplomacy is one of the role and influence of internet, so the topic is related with the book.
