China invests heavily in policies aimed at improving its image, guarding itself against international criticism and advancing its domestic and international agenda. This volume explores how the Chinese government seeks to develop a distinct Chinese approach to public diplomacy, one that suits the country's culture and authoritarian system. Based on in-depth case studies, it provides a thorough analysis of this approach, which is characterized by a long-term vision, a dominant role for the government, an inseparable and complementary domestic dimension, and a high level of interconnectedness with China's overall foreign policy and diplomacy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\t \t The Case of China’s Public Diplomacy  The Design of the Study: Questions and Assumptions \t \t\t    \t The Selection of Case Studies\t  \t Overview of the Chapters  Chapter 1\tHow to Understand Public Diplomacy: An Analytical Framework \t The Concept of Public Diplomacy\t \t  The Challenges of Public Diplomacy 2.0 Public Diplomacy and Soft Power\t  Public Diplomacy and Propaganda Subsets of Public Diplomacy  The Domestic Dimension and the Role of Diasporas  The Analytical Framework Dimension I: Actors and Decision-making Dimension II: Public Diplomacy Content Dimension III: Public Diplomacy Instruments\t  The Impact of a Country’s Political System \t  The Impact of Culture on Public Diplomacy  Conclusion  \t  Chapter 2\tAssets and Liabilities for China’s Public Diplomacy \t The Importance of Culture China’s Authoritarian System Media and Social Media Censorship Human Rights and Tibet The Lack of Cultural Freedom China’s Economic Rise  The China Model  China’s Environmental Challenges The Copenhagen Summit China’s Foreign Policy and Diplomacy The Concepts of Harmonious World and Chinese Dream China’s Military Rise and Cyber-Security Chinese Tourists Conclusions\t   Chapter 3\tThe Chinese Debate on Public Diplomacy \t  The Introduction of Soft Power and Public Diplomacy in China\t  The Chinese Understanding of Public Diplomacy  Defining Public Diplomacy  New Public Diplomacy and Public Diplomacy 2.0 Public Diplomacy and Propaganda Soft Power Cultural and People’s Diplomacy The Domestic Dimension Sources of Soft Power Chinese Culture as a Source of Soft Power The China Model as a Source of Soft Power The Impact of Culture on Public Diplomacy Challenges and Constraints Conclusions  Chapter 4\tChina’s Public Diplomacy System The Growing Diversity of Actors\t National State Actors  The State Council Information Office  The Ministry of Foreign Affairs\t Chinese Embassies and Missions Abroad The Ministry of National Defense and the PLA Other Ministries  China’s Leaders\t The Chinese Communist Party\t The Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference Subnational State Actors\t Non-State Actors  People’s Diplomacy Organizations\t Intellectual Elites and Academic Institutions\t Volunteers and Celebrities Companies Overseas Chinese\t Consequences of the Diversification of Actors\t Public Diplomacy Instruments\t The Media\t The New Media\t Foreign Media  Cultural Institutes and Activities\t Educational Institutes and Activities\t Confucius Institutes  Foreign Aid China’s Public Diplomacy Budget Conclusions\t  Chapter 5\tChina’s Public Diplomacy Strategies: Asia and Africa\t China’s Public Diplomacy in Asia  South and Southeast Asia Central Asia Northeast Asia: Japan and South Korea China’s Public Diplomacy in Africa\t Analysis and Conclusions\t  Chapter 6\tProactive Public Diplomacy: Events  The Beijing Olympic Games and the Shanghai World Expo\t The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games\t Winning the Olympic Bid\t Olympics’ Public Diplomacy\t Ceremonies\t Evaluation of the Event \t Analysis\t The 2010 Shanghai World Expo \t Winning the Expo Bid\t World Expo Public Diplomacy\t Evaluation of the Event\t Lessons Learned\t Analysis\t Conclusions\t  Chapter 7\tReactive Public Diplomacy: Crises The SARS Epidemic, Product Scandals, and the Wenchuan Earthquake The 2003 SARS Epidemic\t The Unfolding of the Crisis\t Public Diplomacy Actions \t Analysis Lessons Learned \t Food and Toy Safety Crises\t The 2007 Pet Food and Toys’ Scandals The 2008 Contaminated Milk-Powder Scandal\t Analysis\t The 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake The Role of the Domestic Media The Role of the PLA Analysis Conclusions  Chapter 8\tThe Reception of China’s Public Diplomacy\t Measuring the Effect of Public Diplomacy Global Views of China  Interpreting Poll Results Conclusions  Conclusion\t\t The Importance China Attaches to Public Diplomacy The Impact of China’s Authoritarian Political System State-Centeredness Media Control and Censorship Other Impacts  The Impact of Chinese Culture on Public Diplomacy A Strategic and Holistic Approach  Evolution and Challenges  Issues for Future Research","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210659684695,"sku":"9789004283947","price":172.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/chinas-public-diplomacy-9789004283947","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
