Cooperation with International Agencies

Almost all national governments can participate in some form of international cooperation with a wide variety of organizations, many of which are NGOs or organizations that are jointly supported by governments. These organizations have developed social media strategies and participate in a variety of social media warfare tactics, including validation, influence, reinforcement, persuasion, recruitment and indoctrination, and relationship building.

Most of these organizations do not have the level of sophistication that the U.S. federal government has achieved in terms of social media strategies and tactics. Nor do they have the road map for future development that the federal government has put into place. Currently, they also do not have the financial resources to accomplish such work. It is likely that they will improve their social media strategies over time. These types of international organizations include, but are not limited to [14]
