By studying cultural diplomacy in tandem with globalization, students will gain a deep comprehension of this innovative, emerging academic field, which is gradually taking on a greater level of importance and relevance in the contemporary global arena.
The Key Objectives of the program are:
• To offer a comprehensive outline of the history and development of Cultural Diplomacy, and to demonstrate how it is utilized in the foreign policy frameworks of nation states, the private sector and civil society.
• To provide the foundation for an in-depth understanding of the theory and realities of the process of globalization and its impact on the contemporary interdependent world, with a particular emphasis on the relationship between Cultural Diplomacy and globalization.
• To facilitate a sound appreciation of the political, economic and cultural pillars upon which sustainable international relations are based, and to explore how these factors can influence the practice of Cultural Diplomacy.
• To analyze soft power and hard power strategies within international relations discourse.
• To examine contemporary obstacles to peaceful international relations using historical and modern case studies, while considering how Cultural Diplomacy can be used to mitigate tension and conflict in the international community.
