Abstract
The premise of this book is that American public diplomacy needs a thoughtful and very thorough overhaul. Mere fine-tuning will not fix it. Many U.S. public diplomacy efforts in recent years have been naþve, archaic, and largely ineffective. These problems will persist unless the new administration’s policy makers are willing to acknowledge past difficulties and let imagination supersede tradition.
