Beschreibung
This book explores the significant yet understudied role of non-state actors (NSAs) as
agents of disruption and dissent in public diplomacy. While existing research
mainly focuses on collaborative aspects of state-NSA relations, this book
delves into instances where NSAs challenge their states’ foreign and domestic
policies, directly impacting public diplomacy efforts.
From protests challenging the “good” image that the state governments try to project, to
activities of governments-in-exile and dissenting diaspora groups, to cities
taking actions that defy official state policies – examples of non-state actors
engaging in political dissent and disrupting the public diplomacy efforts of
their states can be found in virtually any region and political system. Yet the
phenomenon of political dissent and its role in public diplomacy remains
understudied by public diplomacy scholars. This book seeks to fill this gap.
