Cultural Diplomacy
Following the recent public diplomacy review, now seems like a good time to revisit what we mean by cultural diplomacy and the ways in which culture helps to deliver Britain’s foreign, developmental, and sustainability objectives. This project asks what this means for cultural institutions and whether they could play a role in fostering public debate and engagement. It also set out a new and practical framework for policy makers and practitioners in the UK and beyond.
Many to the Many

One of the themes of Cultural Diplomacy is the shift of focus in how nations and groups relate to each other. First, governments spoke behind closed doors - the few to the few. Then they came to realise the importance of speaking to wider publics - the few to the many. Now, it is imperative that we understand and accommodate the reality that global relations are dominated and by the communication of the many to the many.
In this light, it is nice to see that discussion of cultural diplomacy has been extended to the pages of Wikipedia. We are thankful to Simeon Adebolu, both for contributing to the discussion on Wikepedia, and for drawing it to our attention.
