Message from the Director |
As we move into December, CPD is particularly busy. I have just returned from a trip to Syria, Qatar, and Egypt, where I spoke
about public diplomacy issues and found that academic and diplomatic interest in
the field is growing rapidly.
We are about to publish the third paper
in our CPD Perspectives in Public Diplomacy series, "The Kosovo Conflict: U.S.
Diplomacy and Western Public Opinion," by Mark Smith, who was CPD's Public
Diplomat in Residence last year. We are always happy to receive submissions to
be considered for publication in this series, and you can find a call for papers
on our Web site. Another publication of note is the paperback edition of the critically acclaimed
"The Cold War and the United States Information Agency," by Professor Nicholas
Cull, director of USC's Master of Public Diplomacy program.
Looking
ahead, we are planning our major conference, "Science Diplomacy and the Prevention of Conflict," which will take place at USC February 5, 2010, and will be open
to the public. More details about that in next month's newsletter.

CPD Perspectives: The Kosovo Conflict
In the most recent issue of CPD's Perspectives on Public Diplomacy, Mark Smith discusses "The Kosovo Conflict: U.S. Diplomacy and Western Public Opinion," paying particular attention to public diplomacy's crucial role in the conflict.
As Smith puts it, "[A]ll understood that the looming conflict in
Kosovo... would be in the end a battle for Western public opinion. NATO
could not be defeated in a war on the ground or in the air; it could
only lose the battle for public opinion - but that would mean losing
everything."
CPD Perspectives is a periodic publication from the USC Center on
Public Diplomacy, and highlights scholarship intended to stimulate
critical thinking about the study and practice of public diplomacy.
