How Soft Power is Transforming Statecraft

How does a country's soft power influence its global standing and international relations in an increasing volatile environment? CPD and Town Hall Los Angeles will bring together leading practitioners in Los Angeles to explore innovative ways nations are developing and deploying their soft power assets with far reaching global consequences.

For the latest issue of Soft Power 30 in which France secured the top spot, London-based Portland Communications partnered with CPD to produce a rich report with contributions from diplomats, senior government officials and NGO’s working in foreign policy.

On October 12, join conversations with speakers from Portland and some of the leading soft-power nations profiled in the report: 

• Yuko Kaifu, President, Japan House
• Chantal Rickards, CEO, BAFTA Los Angeles
• Matthieu Clouvel, Deputy Consul General, Consulate General of France in Los Angeles
• Jay Wang, Director, USC Center on Public Diplomacy (moderator)

Co-sponsored by Town Hall Los Angeles with welcome remarks by Kim McCleary Blue, President

The event will be live streamed on Facebook.  There is a fee to attend this program. For more information about the Community Partner rate to attend. Click here and enter the code THLAPartner17 at the pay screen when you follow the prompts.
