  • New Directions in Cultural Diplomacy
    This is an advance copy of an essay to be published in 2010 by Real Instituto Elcano, Madrid, in a collection entitled “Cultura y Proyección Exterior: Nuevos Valores y Estrategias de Acción”. It is not to be reproduced or circulated without the approval of the author. New Directions Steve Green1 William Gibson’s frequently quoted statement “the future is already here; it’s just not evenly distributed”, applies to cultural diplomacy. The new directions promise to usher in a transformation of cultural diplomacy. They will add new strands of activity, lead to a re-assessment of existing ways of operating and introduce new items to the cultural diplomacy toolkit. This essay surveys the new directions in global cultural diplomacy. A standard difficulty in surveys is the lack of an agreed terminology. Is the field to be referred to as “cultural diplomacy”, “cultural PR”, “public diplomacy”, “nation branding”? Different countries, different organizations, different authors use the terms almost interchangeably. This essay uses “cultural diplomacy” and returns to the terminology issue in its final section. It will be useful to start with a set of opening parameters in mind. Rod Fisher has a seven point list of the principal objectives of a country’s foreign cultural policy. They are: • to promote cultural diplomacy • to develop cultural relations • to support the export of a nation’s cultural products and creative industries • to underpin the development of beneficial new trading arrangements • to attract tourism and perhaps inward investment • to enhance programme aid in developing countries and • To create an informed and primarily favourable picture of a country to the “outside world”.2 1 Steve Green is Team Leader for the EUNIC presidency.

  • South Korea's Public Diplomacy: a Cultural Approach
    Södertörn University | Institution of Social Science Bachelor Thesis 15 ECTS | Political Science| Fall 2013 South Korea’s Public Diplomacy: A cultural approach. The acquirement of soft power. Author: David Alexandre Hjalmarsson Mentor: Karl Magnus Johansson ABSTRACT Public Diplomacy has been around for decades, in some parts of the world more than others. Despite that, research related to public diplomacy has mainly focused on approaches serving governments’ policy concerns. A large part of the research has also surrounded efficiency aspects: the level of impact culminating from public diplomacy activities. This tunnel vision has undoubtedly contributed to the limitation of theoretical and methodological development. From that standpoint, this study attempts to contribute and fill the existing theoretical and methodological gap. The study builds on the research by Yun (2005), directed by J. E. Gruing, and examines the reliability of her framework and sheds light on some potential shortcomings and eventual amendments. Suggesting the convergence of public diplomacy and public relation, the model is composed of two theoretical frameworks. Public diplomacy as the dependent variable is anchored in Grunig’s excellence theory and national culture as determinants (independent variable) is anchored in Hofstede’s cultural dimensions theory. As did Yun, the study finds that cultural dimensions as determinants for South Korea’s public diplomacy do not possess sufficient explanatory power to understand South Korea’s public diplomacy management. A historical lens and additional contextual factors would hypothetically better explain Korea’s public diplomacy, paving the way for future studies. Keywords: Public diplomacy, public relation, soft power, excellence theory, Grunig, cultural dimensions, Hofstede 2 TABLE OF CONTENT 1.

  • A-Kuluralis-Diplomacia-Tegnap-Es-Ma 765 KB PDF Dokumentum 2015.03.13
    GROTIUS – TANULMÁNYOK Környei Ágnes A kulturális diplomácia tegnap és ma A kultúra igenis számít. Számít a társadalmi kohézió és a rugalmasság, a gazdasági fejlődés és fenntarthatóság, a párbeszéd és a kölcsönös megértés szempontjából. Irina Bokova, UNESCO Főtitkár 20141 „A kultúra egy olyan prizma, amelyen keresztül megértjük a világot és egy olyan eszköz, amellyel alakítjuk, formáljuk azt. Ez egy ösvény is, amelyen keresztül nyitni tudunk más emberek felé, a jelentések és tapasztalatok hatalmas sokfélesége felé. Sokkal több mint látnivalók, előadó művészet és könyvek – a kultúra az, amik vagyunk. A képzelet kútforrása, a valahova tartozás a változások idején és erőforrás az innovációhoz a korlátok korában. Semmilyen társadalom sem virágozhat kultúra nélkül. Semmilyen fejlődés sem lehet fenntartható nélküle”. (Irina Bokova2) A kultúra hatalma, fontos szerepe legalább öt aspektusból bemutatható az Edinburgh-i Nemzetközi Kulturális Csúcstalálkozó3 tanulságai szerint. A kultúrának egyrészt a bizalomépítésben és a társadalmakon belüli kihívások feltárásában van nagy szerepe, másrészt támogatja a fenntartható gazdasági fejlődést és az egyenlőtlenség csökkentését. Harmadrészt a kultúrának befolyása van az újjáépítésre és a megbékélés politikájára, de erősíti a nemzetek közötti kapcsolatokat is, továbbá ki kell emelni a kultúra hatását a fiatalokra. A kultúra legalapvetőbb lényege szerint az emberekről, az embereknek szól, s nem a kormányoknak. A történelem újra és újra bizonyítja, hogy a kormányok nem tudnak sikeresen kultúrát előállítani vagy alkotni – annak az emberektől kell jönnie. Ha a diplomácia a kormányról szól, akkor a kultúra az emberekről. Ha a diplomácia a kompromisszumkeresésről szól, akkor a kultúra a különbségek őszinte feltárásáról. Ha a diplomácia a diskurzus irányításáról, a kultúra a hatalom és befolyás szétterítéséről minél többek között.
