Message from the Director |
No
summer doldrums at CPD. We've just completed our Summer Institute
with 27 diplomats from around the world. We plan to offer versions of
the Institute to governments and others as part of our expanding outreach
efforts.
We
are also deep into planning for two upcoming events: On Sept. 8, CPD will join with USC's School of Journalism to present a lunchtime forum, "Iran: New Politics, New Media," featuring New York
Times columnist Roger Cohen, NPR correspondent
Mike Shuster, Karim Sadjadpour from the Carnegie Endowment for International
Peace and independent scholar Mahasti Afshar. And on Sept.
14, CPD will go to Washington for a panel discussion and reception at the Newseum to launch a new book, Toward a New Public
Diplomacy: Redirecting U.S. Foreign Policy, and a new book series, the Palgrave Macmillan Series in Global Public
Diplomacy. We will also discuss some of the Center's new ventures,
including our own publishing program for case studies and working papers.
As
always, we look forward to hearing from you with any suggestions for
ways we can enhance the work of the Center.
