Trump's Twiplomacy
Trump’s Twiplomacy: A New Diplomatic Norm? Kajsa Hughes Two-year Political Science MA programme in Global Politics and Societal Change Dept. of Global Political Studies Course: Political Science Master’s thesis ST631L (30 credits) Thesis submitted: Summer, 2020 Supervisor: Corina Filipescu Kajsa Hughes 19940526-2867 Political Science: Global Politics Abstract This study examined how Trump frames various countries and their leaders and whether the framing changes from different factors. It also observed whether foreign leaders were following the same path as Trump in their diplomatic communication and interaction on Twitter. This was to contribute more knowledge that connects global politics with social media to see if changes of frames through Twitter caused any global politica l consequences. Theories including realist constructivism and framing theory, along with concepts of social norms, political context, events, and enemy images, were applied to the study. Using directed content analysis, together with longitudinal and comparative elements, the findings showed a separation between Trump’s and the other leaders’ tweets. Almost all tweets were connected to the concepts, and various techniques of framing were identified in tweets from most leaders. However, Trump’s informa l, disdain, and dramatics in his tweets have distanced himself from the rest of the leaders’ posts. Although a couple of leaders’ attempt to be hostile towards Trump and the U.S. in their tweets, they were still formal. It shows that not only is Trump’s Twiplomacy a reflection of American superpower forcefulne ss, but also a unique form that the rest choose to ignore.

Międzynarodowa Konferencja Naukowa Współpraca Polski In
Międzynarodowa konferencja naukowa Współpraca Polski in Niemiec w obszarze bezpieczeństwa: dwadzieścia pięć lat wspólnych doświadczeń Profesor Anita J. Prażmowska Władysław Gomułka’s German policy When in December 1970 Willie Brand, the Chancellor of the German Federal Republic and Józef Cyrankiewicz the Prime Minister of the Polish People’ signed a normalisation treaty, the one which came to be known as the Treaty of Warsaw, this represented Gomułka’s life time achievement. In his role as First Secretary of the United Polish Worker’s Party (Zjednoczona Polska Partia Robotnicza – PZPR) since October 1956 he had consistently tried to obtain guarantees of Poland’s western border. The signing of the treaty confirmed that the Oder-Neisse line was henceforth Poland’s internationally recognised border and, at the same time, a confirmation that the GFR would not challenge the post war territorial changes. To Gomułka this meant that Poland’s territorial security was guaranteed for the first time since the war. The achievement had a personal and a political dimension. I. 1944-1951 Gomułka’s political career can be divided into stages. In November 1943 he became the First Secretary of the war time Polish Workers Party (Polska Partia Robotnicza) which operated in German occupied Poland. On 20 July 1944 the first provisional administration (Polski Komitet Wyzwolenia Narodowego – PKWN) was formed in the liberated town of Lublin. This authority brought together Polish communists from the Soviet Union and some from the German occupied territories. Gomułka retained the post of party secretary, though his role in the establishment of the new post war government was insignificant. -

Madonna of the Trail Lexington, Missouri the Statue Is a Tribute to the Many Hundreds of Thousands of Women Who Took Part In
Madonna of the Trail Lexington, Missouri The statue is a tribute to the many hundreds of thousands of women who took part in the Western United States Migration. Madonna of the Trail is a series of 12 identical monuments dedicated to the sprit of pioneer women in the United States. In the late 1920’s, the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) commissioned the design, casting and placement of twelve memorials commemorating the spirit of pioneer women. These monuments were installed in each of 12 states along the National Old Trails Road, which extended from Cumberland, Maryland, to Upland, California. The Madonna of the Trail is depicted as a courageous pioneer woman, clasping her baby with her left arm while clutching her rifle in her right, wearing a long dress and bonnet. Her young son clings to her skirts. On Monday, September 17, 1928, The Missouri Madonna of the Trail in Lexington, Missouri, was unveiled and dedicated. Harry S. Truman, a Missouri Justice of the Peace and the President of the National Old Trails Association, was the keynote speaker at the ceremony. The ceremony was in many ways a “home-coming” for Lexington, and the streets were crowded with visitors while homes were filled with guests. Most of the visitors were former residents, relatives, and people with connections with Lexington. Many people dressed in period costume, including some eighty-plus year old “real pioneer women” who were dressed in costumes that were over 100 years old. On August 25, 1928, prior to the dedication, a copper box time capsule, filled with pictures, books, pamphlets and other miscellaneous items, was deposited in the base of the pioneer mother statue. -

In the context of international relations, the pandemic has shed light on the term ‘digital diplomacy’, the use of digital tools to facilitate dialogue relevant to foreign affairs. As new technologies relating to artificial intelligence (AI) and internet communication technologies (ICTs) pervade even the well—established area of interstate communication, it is important to assess the overall impact that such technologies have on the field of international relations. -
Diplomacy, Globalization and Heteropolarity: the Challenge of Adaptation
Diplomacy, Globalization and Heteropolarity: The Challenge of Adaptation by Daryl Copeland A POLICYAugust PAPER, 2013 POLICY PAPER Diplomacy, Globalization and Heteropolarity: The Challenge of Adaptation* by Daryl Copeland CDFAI Senior Fellow August, 2013 Prepared for the Canadian Defence & Foreign Affairs Institute 1600, 530 – 8th Avenue S.W., Calgary, AB T2P 3S8 www.cdfai.org ©2013 Canadian Defence & Foreign Affairs Institute ISBN: 978-1-927573-18-1 Executive Summary Globalization is the defining historical process of our times, conditioning, if not determining, outcomes across vast swathes of human activity. At the same time, a heteropolar world is emerging, one in which various and competing sources of power and influence are based more on difference than on similarity. In the face of these transformative forces, diplomacy is struggling to evolve. To date, none of the key elements of the diplomatic ecosystem – the foreign ministry, the Foreign Service, or the diplomatic business model – have adapted well, or quickly enough. If diplomacy is to achieve its full potential as a non-violent approach to the management of international relations and global issues through political communications, then radical reform will be required. These observations are particularly apt in Canada, where diplomatic performance has in recent years been troubled. The foreign ministry (formerly DFAIT), still struggling to absorb the deep cuts contained in the federal budget of March 2012, finds itself in the midst of a complicated merger with the aid agency (formerly CIDA). This unanticipated amalgamation has resulted in significant uncertainty and dislocation in both organizations, and is reminiscent of the disastrous split, and then re-integration, of the foreign and trade ministries 2004-06.
