China’s Global Diplomacy: Introduction to the Special Issue
UN celebrity diplomacy in China: Activism, symbolism and national ambition online
This article examines Chinese celebrities' UN-affiliated Weibo activism in the context of China's increasing engagement in the United Nations, which coincides with a shrinking domestic public sphere under Xi Jinping's leadership. Our article sheds light on how Chinese celebrity diplomacy is balancing contradictory expectations by the UN, the Chinese party-state and the domestic public in China. In doing so, we offer an important conceptual update…
Consular diplomacy's first challenge: Communicating assistance to nationals abroad
This article discusses the first hurdle for consular diplomacy in the digital age: the communicative challenge. Providing information and assistance to nationals abroad is a major challenge, and governments are well advised to go about this activity in a more citizen‐centric fashion. It is therefore important for ministries of foreign affairs (MFAs) and their consular divisions to acquire a deeper understanding of their nationals' communicative b…

Introduction: Debating Public Diplomacy
Rebel diplomacy and digital communication: Public diplomacy in the Sahel
Most research on social media as a tool for public diplomacy focuses on its use by recognized international actors to advance their national interest and reputation, deliver foreign policy objectives or promote their global interests. This article highlights the need for paying more attention to non-state diplomacy in conflict situations outside the western world. We examine how rebel groups use new media to enhance their communications, and what…

Critical Digital Diplomacy as a Global Challenge: The South Korean Experience

Western perspectives do however dominate writings on the subject and there is scope for importing new theoretical notions into these discussions. This article on digital diplomacy aims to show that South Korea's practices harmonize well with insights from new media theory, and that both inform t…

Policy innovation in this sector helps diplomats understand the importance of adopting communicative styles that ar…

Consular Affairs and Diplomacy analyses the multifaceted nature of diplomacy’s consular dimension in international relations. It contributes to our understanding of key themes in consular affairs today, the consular challenges that are facing the three great powers—the United States, Russia and China—as well as the historical origins of the consular institution in Europe. Consular Affairs and Diplomacy breaks new ground in the field of diplomatic…
Concluding Reflections on Soft Power and Public Diplomacy in East Asia
The large body of academic writing on soft power and the even larger literature on public diplomacy are good news in more than one respect. They are evidence of a growing interest in less threatening forms of power, diplomacy as the predominant mode through which international actors represent themselves and their interests, and the processes of communication and persuasion in an increasingly transnational world. There is, however, a sense that, …

The New Public Diplomacy: Between Theory and Practice
It is tempting to see public diplomacy as old wine in new bottles. Official communication aimed at foreign publics is after all no new phenomenon in international relations. Image cultivation, propaganda and activities that we would now label as public diplomacy are nearly as old as diplomacy itself. Even in ancient times, prestige-conscious princes and their representatives never completely ignored the potential and pitfalls of public opinion in…

Nuclearizing Nato, 1957–1959: The ‘Anglo-Saxons’, nuclear sharing and the fourth country problem
The spread of nuclear weapons outside the Western world has become the most important nuclear issue since the end of the Cold War. By contrast, the debate about Europe's nuclear strategy has subsided. Nuclear collaboration in Western Europe now seems an unlikely prospect and so too does proliferation, despite instability in the former Soviet Union, and occasional speculation about Germany's nuclear appetite. A very different atmosphere prevailed …
