Implementation of Digital Governance in improving cyber security in Indonesia

Abstract

This research explores both the opportunities and challenges that diplomacy encounters in the era of digital transformation. The advancement of digital technologies has expanded the ability of states to engage and negotiate more directly; however, it also introduces new obstacles, including the rapid circulation and unpredictability of information, which can contribute to the spread of disinformation and the escalation of conflict. Utilizing interviews with diplomats and case study analysis, the study demonstrates how public diplomacy is increasingly empowered by the use of social media, enabling states to communicate swiftly with global audiences and streamline decision-making processes. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the significant role of digital tools in enhancing international collaboration on global issues—such as climate change and public health—by providing platforms for information exchange and joint action. Nevertheless, concerns surrounding cybersecurity and disparities in access to digital infrastructure remain critical barriers that must be addressed to fully leverage the benefits of digital diplomacy. In conclusion, the study affirms that while digital diplomacy holds substantial promise for enhancing the efficiency and inclusivity of international engagement, its success depends on the implementation of strategic safeguards and careful consideration of associated risks.
