"Public Diplomacy 2.0" (PD20.org) Working Document

 

About

Public Diplomacy 2.0 (www.pd20.org) seeks to document the use of, and provide editorial commentary on web 2.0 and social media technologies in the practice of public diplomacy and cultural relations. PD 2.0.org will represent opinions and present examples from a wide range of public and private institutions from around the world. Through interviews with practitioners and thought leaders, analysis of examples in practice, how-to articles, press digests and other sourced and original content, PD 2.0.org's goal is to become a central source for information on Public Diplomacy 2.0.

Definitions of Public Diplomacy 2.0

 

Darren Krape (www.darrenkrape.com): Public diplomacy 2.0 is the use of new media (web 2.0, social media) to listen, engage and influence foreign publics, either by a government (public diplomacy) or by citizens (citizen diplomacy) in order to create a favorable environment for achieving national security, political, cultural and economic objectives. (Liberally stolen borrowed from http://mountainrunner.us/2008/11/defining_public_diplomacy.html)
