  • confucius institutes and the network communication approach to public Diplomacy
    IAFOR Journal of Asian Studies, 2014
    Co-Authors: Terry Flew, Falk Hartig
    Abstract:

    Discussions of public Diplomacy in recent years have paid a growing amount of attention to networks. This network perspective is understood to provide insights into various issues of public Diplomacy, such as its effects, credibility, reputation, identity and narratives. This paper applies the network idea to analyse China’s Confucius Institutes initiative. It understands Confucius Institutes as a global network and argues that this network structure has potential implications for the operation of public and cultural Diplomacy that are perhaps underestimated in existing accounts of Chinese cultural Diplomacy. In particular, it is noted that the specific setup of Confucius Institutes requires the engagement of local stakeholders, in a way that is less centralised and more networked than comparable cultural Diplomacy institutions. At the same time, the development of a more networked for of public cultural Diplomacy is challenged in practice by both practical issues and the configuration of China’s state-centric public Diplomacy system informed by the political constitution of the Chinese state.

  • does the european union transform the institution of Diplomacy
    Journal of European Public Policy, 2005
    Co-Authors: Jozef Batora
    Abstract:

    Diplomacy as a framework of principles, rules and organized patterns of behaviour regulating interstate relations in the Westphalian system of states is challenged by the process of European integration. This article conceptualizes Diplomacy and its change using two new institutionalist perspectives that provide us with complementary insights into the nature of Diplomacy as an institution. These are then applied to the study of Diplomacy in the EU. The process of European integration is shown as challenging the institution of Diplomacy at three levels: (a) the intra-European bilateral relations; (b) the multilateral setting of the Council; and (c) the emerging capacity of the EU to conduct external diplomatic relations with third states. The article assesses change in and of Diplomacy at these levels.

  • Diplomasi Kopi: Kebijakan Luar Negeri Indonesia dalam Meningkatkan Kerjasama Ekspor Komoditas Kopi ke Amerika Serikat
    Global dan Policy, 2020
    Co-Authors: Shertina Rara
    Abstract:

    ABSTRACTIndonesia's potential as the top five coffee producers and exporters in the world will create opportunities in order to meet the high demand of US coffee consumption. However, competition for the world coffee export commodity market in the United States is very competitive. Indonesia launched a foreign policy on coffee Diplomacy that involved a variety of stakeholders to increase Indonesia's coffee exports to the United States and give branding to Indonesian specialty coffee. The author aims to show the success of coffee Diplomacy in the United States-Indonesia coffee commodity export cooperation seen by the increase in exports from year to year. The author uses descriptive-analytical methods to provide an overview of Indonesian coffee exports to the United States. Therefore, it easier for readers to obtain information about coffee Diplomacy analysis which is motivated by several determinants of Indonesian foreign policy and national interests contained in legal instruments. Analysis of the coffee Diplomacy policy also involves historical, cultural and political aspects to explain the flow of foreign policy formulation from domestic factors.Keywords: Coffee, Bilateral Cooperation, Coffee Diplomacy, Indonesia, United State

  • Cultural Diplomacy under the "digital lockdown": pandemic challenges and opportunities in museum Diplomacy
    'Springer Science and Business Media LLC', 2021
    Co-Authors: Grincheva N
    Abstract:

    The article analyzes the case of museum Diplomacy during the Covid-19 global outbreak to illustrate two important trends that were reinforced in the condition of the pandemic. First, it argues that digital innovations achieved by cultural institutions in their international communication in the conditions of mass closures and national lockdowns significantly accelerated and even further legitimized digital Diplomacy (Bjola et al. in Hague J Dipl 14(1–2):83–101, 2019). During the Covid-19 crisis, for instance, the volume of digital cultural production and its global consumption rate have dramatically increased (UNESCO in Report “Culture & COVID-19: Impact and Response Tracker.” https://bit.ly/3iQLN74, 2020b), paving more reliable avenues for digital communication and even Diplomacy. Second, the pandemics prompted cultural actors to take institutional initiatives and complement official cultural Diplomacy exchanges, which due to the travel boundaries either temporarily ceased to exist or considerably slowed down

  • Global Trends in Museum Diplomacy: Post-Guggenheim Developments
    'Informa UK Limited', 2020
    Co-Authors: Grincheva N
    Abstract:

    Global Trends in Museum Diplomacy traces the transformation of museums from publicly or privately funded heritage institutions into active players in the economic sector of culture. Exploring how this transformation reconfigured cultural Diplomacy, the book argues that museums have become autonomous diplomatic players on the world stage. The book offers a comparative analysis across a range of case studies in order to demonstrate that museums have gone global in the era of neoliberal globalisation. Grincheva focuses first on the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, which is well known for its bold revolutionising strategies of global expansion: museum franchising and global corporatisation. The book then goes on to explore how these strategies were adopted across museums around the world and analyses two cases of post-Guggenheim developments in China and Russia: the K11 Art Mall in Hong Kong and the International Network of Foundations of the State Hermitage Museum in Russia. These cases from more authoritarian political regimes evidence the emergence of alternative avenues of museum Diplomacy that no longer depend on government commissions to serve immediate geo-political interests. Global Trends in Museum Diplomacy will be a valuable resource for students, scholars and practitioners of contemporary museology and cultural Diplomacy. Documenting new developments in museum Diplomacy, the book will be particularly interesting to museum and heritage practitioners and policymakers involved in international exchanges or official programs of cultural Diplomacy

  • Glocal Diplomacy of Louvre Abu Dhabi: museum Diplomacy on the cross-roads of local, national and global ambitions
    'Informa UK Limited', 2020
    Co-Authors: Grincheva N
    Abstract:

    © 2019, © 2019 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. Cultural Diplomacy has traditionally been a strategic instrument of national governments to achieve foreign policy objectives. Nation states have supported the international missions of museums to promote national cultural ideas and values abroad to pursue strategic geopolitical interests. However, in the twenty-first century the complex process of neoliberal globalisation and political decentralisation have transformed traditional cultural Diplomacy based on exclusively national projections. There are new forms, channels and narratives of cultural Diplomacy that emerge with the appearance of new types of cultural institutions, such as franchise museums, like Guggenheim Bilbao, Hermitage Amsterdam or Louvre Abu Dhabi. This article explores the case of Louvre Abu Dhabi to exemplify the phenomenon of ‘glocal’ museum Diplomacy that rests on global ambitions of the local Abu Dhabi government and at the same time draws on national aspirations of France to strengthen its geopolitical presence and influence in the Middle East. The article identifies multiple museum narratives that transform museum Diplomacy from a bilateral, state-initiated strategic activity into a multilateral and multidirectional endeavour engaging stakeholders and audiences on local, national and global levels
