studying Public Diplomacy --- I agree public diplomacy has received much more attention in recent years. However, as far as I am aware, few academic institutions have focuses on public diplomacy with specific courses so far. - aside from Universita Cattolica del Sacro Cuore and the Furtwangen University. We too have discussed in the course that few public diplomacy practitioners have received formal training (until this course). Are there courses the lecturers can recommend? Do we need a strategy to ensure public diplomacy is accepted as a full discipline in academia and practice?
