The ambiguity surrounding the conceptualization of the term leads to confusion among scholars and practitioners and hinders the consolidation of PD as an academic field. This article surveys 160 articles and books on PD, categorizes diverse perspectives into a taxonomy, and explores the coherence of each. The taxonomy can be categorized into these perspectives: state-centric, neo-statist, nontraditional, society-centric, and accommodative. The article maps the boundaries of public diplomacy with much needed clear and coherent criteria and positions PD within the broader discipline of international relations.

Mariami Khatiashvili, uscpublicdiplomacy.org, Apr 18, 2019 image from article Mutual understanding is essential for building trust in public diplomacy [JB emphasis]. In most cases, shared elements might include values and ideas. In some cases, similar geographic names can have a significant role in establishing mutual trust and understanding. This was successfully incorporated in U.S. public diplomacy in the 1980s to connect people from Atlanta, Georgia and Tbilisi, Republic of Georgia, through citizen exchanges.The existence of two Georgias in the world—the state in the United States of America and the country in Europe—can be puzzling. Though the same name refers to distinct geographic places, this duplication was used to build bridges between the peoples from these two places during the Cold War.In the 1980s, people from two Georgias were connected through two-way citizen exchanges operated by the Atlanta-based organization Friendship Force International. Americans from Atlanta, Geo..

What is your position on US President Donald Trump’s expected peace plan and on a possible Palestinian state? I think that to date, Trump has proved himself to be a true friend of the State of Israel and of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, so there is no need to be concerned. However, this is still a purely theoretical question because the other side is not willing to recognize Israel’s right to exist. What should the government’s response be to growing global antisemitism? “A little of the light repels much of the darkness,” [..
