The course aims at providing students with a theoretical and practical understanding of the recent discourse on public diplomacy.

The course is concerned with understanding of the evolution of the theory and practice of public diplomacy; relational, networked and collaborative approaches to public diplomacy; non-state actors role in public diplomacy; media relations, educational and cultural programs in public diplomacy.
