About CPD Perspectives on Public Diplomacy
Launched in September 2009, CPD Perspectives on Public Diplomacy is a periodic publication from the USC Center on Public Diplomacy (CPD), and highlights scholarship intended to stimulate critical thinking about the study and practice of public diplomacy. Designed for both the practitioner and the scholar, this series illustrates the breadth of public diplomacy – its role as an essential component of foreign policy and the intellectual challenges it presents to those seeking to understand this increasingly significant element of international relations. By publishing around ten essays each year in this series, the Center intends to provide a new platform for international contributors to communicate their views on emerging trends in public diplomacy and offer fresh insight into some historic challenges in the field. CPD Perspectives on Public Diplomacy is available electronically in PDF form on the Center's web site and in hard copy by request.
