In previous Culture Posts, I talked about the goal of developing an “in-awareness” approach to culture in public diplomacy. In the comments section, as well as other CPD posts, important observations have been raised about the challenges of cultural diplomacy. Developing a stronger “in-awareness” approach may be the key to designing and implementing rewarding cultural diplomacy initiatives. In this post I discuss the idea of thinking about culture as a concrete noun as one way to develop awareness.

Cultural diplomacy encompasses everything from training in modern dance to training in modern politics. At first glance, it seems a relatively non-threatening way to project identity and influence, but its impact can be profound.

APDS Blogger: Jessica Castillo “India is a complex nation.” I heard these words many times during my short two-week visit to India. After much reflection, I believe I may have finally gained a speck of clarity about what this statement means, and why it became a recurring quote in conversations regarding where India is today and where its future lies. I set out to examine India’s urban issues to determine whether the strength of the nation stems from its mega-cities, urban populations, and/or local innovations.

APDS Blogger: Hend Alhinnawi NEW DELHI --- Walking through the streets of New Delhi, it is hard to resist the city’s unique combination of old charm and modern features. Whether you’re looking for cultural, social, or religious diversity, you're sure to find it in New Delhi. On December 12, 2011, New Delhi celebrated its 100th year as India’s “spanking new capital.” On that same day in 1931, King George V announced the shifting of the India’s capital from Calcutta to Delhi. So, what makes New Delhi so special? For one, there are many religions represented including Hinduism, Islam, Sikhism, Buddhism, Jainism,…... Full Text
