‘Public Diplomacy for Contributing to Global Society’
Today, nations compete with one another to maximize their own national interests in the realm of public diplomacy.
However, if we limit public diplomacy to the boundaries of national interest, another area of competition
and conflict may arise just as in hard power politics.
What should we do to devise collaborative, constructive and creative public diplomacy geared toward global public good?
What are best practices on the role of cultural initiatives of each institution?

WG2 Managing Public Diplomacy: Corporations and Governments
Obviously, one of the defining characteristics of New Public Diplomacy is the emergence of a variety of civilian actors
including corporations as the subject,
as well as object, of public diplomacy. Corporations are now a great asset of public diplomacy.
How can PD institutions utilize these invaluable assets?
Is it desirable for the government to intervene in the realm of public diplomacy?
To what extent should the government intervene, and what should be the specific role of the government?
