The role of international education on public diplomacy: The case of Kosovo International Summer Academy
Through international education programs such as the Kosovo International Summer Academy (KSA), countries aim to change their image, influence, and shift the perception and attitudes of international students towards the host country.

We analyze the re…

The reason for this apparent paradox …
