Public diplomacy

image from Maxime Audinet, "Batailles culturelles," Le Monde diplomatique, date [?] Excerpt: Intrinsèquement lié à la bataille idéologique de la guerre froide, le concept de « diplomatie publique » (public diplomacy) [JB emphasis] est popularisé au début des années 1960 par Edward R. Murrow, directeur de la United States Information Agency, qui coordonne la diplomatie culturelle des États-Unis et la radio La Voix de l’Amérique selon une ligne farouchement anticommuniste. La diplomatie américaine entend alors s’affranchir de la notion de propagande, associée au totalitarisme, pour désigner cette facette de sa politique étrangère. À la même époque, les responsables soviétiques recourent à la notion proche de « diplomatie populaire » (narodnaïa diplomatia) pour qualifier l’action culturelle extérieure des sociétés d’amitié soviétiques, combinée aux ondes multilingues de Radio Moscou. Dans les deux cas, l’État communique directement avec des populations étrangères par des instruments cultu..

However, how states cope with international misrecognition has so far not been thoroughly explored in International Relations scholarship. To address this, the article presents a theoretical framework for understanding international misrecognition by drawing on discursive and psychoanalytical theories of collective identity formation and humour studies. The article conceptualises international misrecognition as a gap between the dominant narr..

The authors: Günther Dauwen, Adam Grydehøj, Linda Fabiani, Jordi Solé, Lorena Lopez de Lacalle and Maria Ackrén considered how sub-state jurisdictions (towns, cities, counties, and regions) and other non-state actors use paradiplomacy to seek influence beyond their borders. As globalisation reduces the ability of national governments to independently implement effective policies, sub-state jurisdictions are finding that sovereignty is no longer essential for entrance to the global stage. Local governments are using paradiplomacy and informal diplomacy to promote their interests internationally in areas like trade, culture, tourism, politics, and environment. This publication is financially supported by the European Parliam..

Paul Rockower, jewishaz.com [JB personal note: For anyone interested in PD beyond academic theorizing (note that Mr. Rockower has an MA in Public Diplomacy [JB emphasis] from USC), I strongly recommend Paul's witty and exquisitely written blog, Levantine, so subtle and undulant with his thoughts on so many PD-related varied topics (including on gastrodiplomacy, his term) that they remind me of Montaigne's classic essays.] Rockower image (not from his article) from Throughout my career, I have been a practitioner of public diplomacy]. I did so as a press officer for the Consulate General of Israel to the Southwest, directing media and public diplomacy outreach across a five-state region during the Second Intifada and Gaza Disengagement.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia image from entryExcerpt: The way the conflict is reported are extensively monitoring and analysed: in addition to Israel's public diplomacy [JB emphasis], intent on countering negative press images, there are also many private pro-Israeli organizations, among them CAMERA, FLAME, HonestReporting, Palestinian Media Watch, Canary Mission and the Anti-Defamation League which claim much reportage is distorted. The term Pallywood was coined to suggest that Palestinian coverage of their plight is manipulative fake news. John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt have argued that United States media coverage, compared to other countries, tilts strongly in Israel's favour.[j] This view that American media are biased against Palestinians has been challenged by authors who cite research that concluded most mainstream media have a "liberal" bias, a criticism extended to European outlets like Le Monde and the BBC.[40] ...

By John Brown, Huffington Post, May 25, 2011 [JB 3/9/2019: Today, the State Department does not have an Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs (as it did in the past) -- not even an "acting one."] Public diplomacy — defined by the State Department as “engaging, informing, and influencing key international audiences” — has become increasingly passé among American officials, scholars, and NGOs as a term and activity used to define how America should communicate with the outside world. Meanwhile, the governments of other countries — notably China and India — are enthusiastically embracing public diplomacy as a new and essential part of their foreign policy. Who’s the winner in such a situation — the USA or the rest of the world? Hard to say.I. Public Diplomacy: Passé for the U.S.?Public diplomacy was coined by Dean Edmund Gullion and the Fletcher School of Law & Diplomacy in the mid-1960’s. He and his colleagues wanted to find a way to characterize the many informational,..

The delegation further had a chance to meet with the Ministers of Health and Tourism as well as the Director General of Mines in the Ministry of Energy and Mine.
