Issue 113 of the Revista Mexicana de Política Exterior is dedicated to a topic of great interest to foreign ministries and their academies the world over: the use of digital tools to perform diplomatic duties and how these affect the nature of the profession.

Is it possible to identify and measure the impact of digital public diplomacy? To what extent does all this modify the practice of diplomacy?
