Public Diplomacy and Soft Power in East Asia - Paperback

by S. Lee (Editor), Jan Melissen (Author)

This book discusses the question of soft power and public diplomacy challenges in East Asian context. Both concepts originate in the West, and in a sense this book can therefore be seen as an exercise in critically assessing soft power and public diplomacy in a different geographical and cultural setting.
