Call for Papers “*Emerging Research and Trends in Public Diplomacy and 
Nation Branding” Doctoral and Post-Doctoral ICA Pre-Conference*
Hilton Prague, May 24, 2018

This full day pre-conference aims to be a forum for doctoral and 
postdoctoral researchers/ young scholars to present and discuss their 
ongoing work on public diplomacy and nation branding. We welcome any 
topics, including digital diplomacy, evaluation & measurement of public 
diplomacy, theory building in public diplomacy, countries soft power, 
the role of cities, nation branding, non-state public diplomacy etc. The 
format will include established scholars mentoring and giving feedback 
to each participant on the work submitted.

The conference is sponsored by the ICA Public Diplomacy Interest Group 
together with Lund University, Oxford Digital Diplomacy Research Group, 
Syracuse University and USC Center on Public Diplomacy.

It is for the first time since the establishment of the Public Diplomacy 
Interest Group that ICA takes place in Central Europe. Therefore, ICA18 
in Prague is a fantastic opportunity for emerging and established 
scholars from all over the world to meet and discuss the further 
development and growth potential of this interdisciplinary field of 
study. Facilitating debates on current state of the art, theories and 
methodologies in public diplomacy, as well as transferring knowledge and 
mentoring are the best ways to ensure its future.
