Nicholas Cull Spoke of Past Problems and New Hope

January 19, 2005: Despite some current worries and new challenges, there is great reason to be hopeful for the future of public diplomacy, said CPD special guest Dr. Nicholas Cull at USC Annenberg on Tuesday.

"We must be aware of new competitors, new alliances, new opportunities, new players, new methods of communication, and new ways of living," he said, arguing that in order to move public diplomacy into the future and confront current problems such as inadequate structure and methods we must be aware of its history.

His Excellency, Fernando Henrique Cardoso, former President of Brazil and CPD board member, was the featured guest at a public diplomacy round table seminar on October 13, 2004. Other participants include USC Annenberg Dean Geoffrey Cowan, members of the USC Center on Public Diplomacy Faculty Advisory Council, and a select group of graduate students conducting research in public diplomacy.
