Announcing the Journal of Public Diplomacy

The Korean Association for Public Diplomacy has launched the Journal of Public Diplomacy (JPD), an international journal devoted to public diplomacy scholarship and practice.

JPD was established to attend to a two-fold objective:

First, it aims to offer a dedicated space for theoretical and empirical research on public diplomacy to contribute to the grafting of this domain to the mainstream discipline of international relations.

Second, it intends to serve as a venue for discussions, debates and exchange of views for scholars and researchers as well as for public diplomacy policymakers and practitioners, thus becoming an intellectual bridge that connects all aspects of public diplomacy.

JPD is a double-blind peer-reviewed and open-access journal published biannually online in June and in December. JPD invites papers related to public diplomacy research, policy, practice and evaluation, while also welcoming papers delving into methodological issues or pedagogy pertaining to public diplomacy.

As an interdisciplinary journal, JPD welcomes contributions from discrete domains including, but not limited to, international relations, foreign policy, communications, public relations, social psychology, marketing, business administration, education, data sciences and scientometrics. Contributors may employ quantitative, qualitative, mixed, computational or other methodologies.

The Editor-in-Chief of JPD is Kadir Jun Ayhan of Ewha Womans University Graduate School of International Studies.
