Overview
This module will analyse historical and emergent roles of public diplomacy as the ?soft power? wing of American foreign policy. Key issues include: strategic communications and information warfare; the promotion of educational and cultural programmes; private/public networks and the role of non-state actors and NGOs in delivering and contesting public diplomacy goals; and the impact of new media technologies on public diplomacy. We will examine ways in which public diplomacy strategies are tied to (but also in tension with) foreign policy initiatives.
