Set against the backdrop of tensions in East Asia, this book
analyzes how East Asia's "new middle powers" and emerging powers
employ public diplomacy as a key element of their foreign policy
strategy and in so doing influence regional power dynamics. The
volume brings together contributions from an international and
influential group of scholars, who are leading debates on public
diplomacy within East Asia. Where the study of public diplomacy has
so far focused primarily on the West, the essays in this book
highlight the distinct strategies of East Asian powers and
demonstrate that understanding public diplomacy requires studying
its strategies and practices outside as much as within the Western
world. A focus on public diplomacy likewise gives us a more varied
picture of state-to-state relations in East Asia.
