Strategic Public Diplomacy Project

"With the U.S. Government’s public diplomacy generally adrift since the end of the Cold War, and a host of new security challenges emerging, NSI believes the U.S. needs to transform its public diplomacy strategies and capabilities to meet 21st century policy challenges. Its new Strategic Public Diplomacy project will focus on ways to modernize and integrate diplomacy with principal U.S. foreign policy strategies, while embracing new and emerging technologies, such as the Internet and social media.

Co-chaired by Secretary Dan Glickman and Ambassador James Glickman, the project will look at how the U.S. Government should conduct public diplomacy around the globe, specifically toward countries with Muslim majorities, while leveraging new media opportunities. " The project is based at the Bipartisan Policy Center.
