CPD Forum: Global Leadership in Public DiplomacyCPD Forum on Public Diplomacy
Exactly 50 years ago, distinguished American diplomat Edmund Gullion coined the term “public diplomacy” to specifically denote coordinated governmental engagement with foreign publics. Since then, the concept of public diplomacy has become broadened and more expansive.
Established in 2003 to serve as a leading resource for public diplomacy scholars and practitioners, the USC Center on Public Diplomacy has continued to contribute significantly through its research, analysis, training and public programming to discussions about the future of this ever-evolving, increasingly relevant form of global engagement.
