[Commlist] Call For Paper - Special Issue of İleti-ş-im: Galatasaray University Journal of Communication

Special Issue of İleti-ş-im: Galatasaray University Journal of Communication

Public diplomacy, which is the intersection field of international 
relations and communication disciplines, is an important concept that 
has been included in the political communication literature of the 21st 
century. The basis of public diplomacy, which is defined as the 
strategic communication management of a state for foreign peoples, is 
based on Joseph Nye's “soft power” concept mainly. Historically, 
cultural diplomacy activities started with the establishment of Alliance 
Française in 1883, and many communication activities carried out in the 
First and Second World Wars had the characteristics of public diplomacy 
activities, although not called as public diplomacy. The transformation 
of the propagandist communication form of the Cold War era with the new 
communication technologies of the 90s also has changed the concept of 
public diplomacy.

The one-way communication form of traditional public diplomacy has 
become a research-based, planned, and proactive communication method 
according to the results of the research in today's new public 
diplomacy. The actors and application areas of New public diplomacy, in 
which targeted messages are delivered to specific audiences, have 
diversified. “New public diplomacy is about building relationships with 
civil societies of other countries and facilitating networks with 
non-governmental parties inside and outside” (Melissen, 2007: 22). Civil 
society is one of the most important actors of this new public diplomacy 
and is an efficient tool for transmitting soft power.

In this new process involving civil society, public diplomacy is 
interested in areas such as culture, education (exchange programs and 
language teaching), economy, tourism, faith, health, humanitarian aid, 
music, and food, and gives its messages on these issues. Citizen 
diplomacy and digital diplomacy concepts are also among the elements of 
new public diplomacy.

The subjects, and case studies that will be examined in the context of 
strategic communication, following the conceptual, philosophical, and 
applied nature of the new public diplomacy, should be submitted to 
(asancar /at/ gsu.edu.tr) with a minimum of 6000 and a maximum of 9000 words.
