Rezensionen

"A provocative collection of essays that will challenge and redefine critical scholarship on public diplomacy."

James Pamment, Senior Lecturer, Lund University

"In an era in which public diplomacy is essential to any international actor's success and even survival on the world stage, Colin Alexander has drawn together a terrific collection of essays on its theory and practice. Alexander's own excellent work is front and center. With an engaging mix of established and emerging scholars and a resolutely global perspective this book pushes back against the field's habitual focus on the US and UK. It reveals a set of practices which remain, to a frustrating extent, untapped. Actors considered include

India, Russia and North Korea; issues include educational exchange, new technology and the out-sourcing to private contractors. Great questions and challenging answers abound. This is a book for scholars, and practitioners to read and consider with care."

Nicholas J. Cull, Professor of Communication, USC

"Every reading in this rich and very diverse collection of studies brings an original and critical perspective to what the scholars suggest has become a very normative, positive picture of state-centric public diplomacy. The contributors challenge comfortable notions of what public diplomacy can do to promote appealing narratives or images, and raise uncomfortable but necessary questions about power, hegemony, and counter-hegemony, ethics and morality buried within public diplomacy scholarship and practice."

R.S. Zaharna, American University
