Message from the Director
 One of the high points for us each year is
our Summer Institute in Public Diplomacy -
two weeks of intensive training
for
diplomats from around the world. This
year we have 30 participants, a
fascinating and delightful group of
women
and men who teach us as we teach
them. Training is among the key services provided by CPD, and we
are always happy to discuss specially designed training offerings for
interested governments or others.
Also
during July we have been presenting a series of video blogs from the CPD team
at the Shanghai Expo. I urge you
to take a look at these reports, which can be found on our website. In addition, you might read the new issue of PD Magazine, which examines ways that public
diplomacy can advance human rights.
As
we prepare for the new academic year, we are moving forward on major research
projects related to water diplomacy and international broadcasting. We are also finishing up several
publications, including a report on our recent conference, "Science Diplomacy
and the Prevention of Conflict," and new monographs in our CPD Perspectives on
Public Diplomacy series.
So,
no summer doldrums for us. As
always, please do not hesitate to let us hear from you about how we're doing.
Sincerely,
Philip SeibDirector, USC Center on Public Diplomacy |
