Professionals spoke about non-state actors in international relations at the annual two-day event.
Each year, the public diplomacy graduate students of Syracuse University host a public diplomacy symposium. Usually held in Washington D.C., this year's event, inspired by Geoffrey Wiseman’s book, "Isolate or Engage: Adversarial States, US Foreign Policy, and Public Diplomacy," was held at SU on Oct. 13 and 14.
A Newhouse professor created The Public Diplomat “to help people tell stories about international engagement” on the SU campus and beyond.
What is public diplomacy? The average person might have a hard time defining it.
The concept of public diplomacy is the dialogue established by foreign publics with the intent to inform and influence. According to Guy Golan, creator of ThePublicDiplomat.com, it is defined as the intersection between public relations, international relations and political communication.
