Abstract: The convergence of scientific knowledge and diplomatic strategy is increasingly defining the contours of international engagement in a world marked by deep geopolitical divisions and rapid technological advancement. This article delves into science diplomacy as a critical interface that shapes multilateral negotiations, strategic treaties, and the global governance of emerging technologies. Through an expansive discussion, the episode traces the history, challenges, and institutional forms of science-led diplomacy, spotlighting key sectors such as nuclear energy, space exploration, agriculture, climate change, artificial intelligence, and polar science. Offering practical illustrations from international forums and bilateral arrangements, this conversation unpacks how science both transcends and is shaped by national interest, commercial ambition, and global responsibility.
