Beat of America

Beat of America is the social media home of the Embassy of the U.S. Helsinki. Consider this our New Media White House (Washington D.C.) and our Facebooks, Twitters, and other accounts as our embassies (the globe) - trying to better help and inform you. Here we will discuss all manner of things about culture, arts, grassroots, sports, the Internet, and anything else you deem of interest. We hope that you find our thoughts interesting and don’t hesitate to join the discussion through comments or via our ‘embassies’ (all of them are listed in the ‘About’ section)

21st Century Statecraft

To meet these 21st century challenges, we need to use the tools, the new 21st century statecraft. And we’ve begun to do that. We have seen the possibilities of what can happen when ordinary citizens are empowered by Twitter and Facebook to organize political movements, or simply exchange ideas and information. So we find ourselves living at a moment in human history when we have the potential to engage in these new and innovative forms of diplomacy and to also use them to help individuals be empowered for their own development. ”
