[Commlist] Call for book chapters: Public Diplomacy in Authoritarian Regimes

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?
