Tue Aug 01 10:02:47 GMT 2023





CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTERS: Public Diplomacy in Authoritarian Regimes

Editors:

Carola Richter, (Professor for International Communication) Freie Universität Berlin

Vedat Demir, (Senior Einstein Guest Researcher) Freie Universität Berlin

Rationale of the book: (the full call can be found here: https://www.polsoz.fu-berlin.de/kommwiss/arbeitsstellen/internationale_kommunikation/News/Authoritarian-PD.html)

The book aims to trace the public diplomacy policies of authoritarian regimes. Thus, the questions below are meant to motivate the chapter authors to reveal how the public diplomacy of authoritarian regimes is shaped and explain the interplay between the regimes’ aims and policies and public diplomacy in analytical terms.

1. How do authoritarian regimes practice public diplomacy, and what are the policies, implementations, and tools they use differently than liberal democracies?

2. Especially in transitional/hybrid regimes, how does a country’s transformation process impact public diplomacy, and how does this transformation affect a country’s image and global reputation around the world?

3. What are the goals of authoritarian countries’ new public diplomacy strategies, and what methods use these regimes to shape their foreign policies?

4. How successful are the public diplomacy policies of authoritarian countries, and what is the future of public diplomacy in a world where authoritarianism is on the rise in a growing number of countries?

We invite book chapters on the following themes:

Theoretical contributions and overviews

1.           The global expansion of authoritarian regimes and their PD

2.           Authoritarianism and public diplomacy
