Socially Distanced Diplomacy: The future of soft power and public diplomacy in a fragile world A new critical issues report published by Sanctuary Counsel and CPD sheds light on emerging challenges and opportunities as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and a major reset in U.S. foreign policy under a new administration.

Dear friends,

As we look back at 2021, we are grateful for what we achieved during just the last year with the support of the MARPE community within the MARPE Diplo project: we published a book, organised an international conference, organised the last MARPE Talk and published one glossary and two curriculums related to communication and diplomacy!

We thank you all for supporting the MARPE Diplo project and we wish you and your families happy holidays!

See you all in 2022!

Excited to announce that one of the chapters in the "Diplomacy, Organisations and Citizens" book is featured on the USC Center on Public Diplomacy blog!
“The Citizen Diplomats and their Pathway to Diplomatic Power” (chapter 13) is co-authored by Anca Anton and Raluca Moise. It looks into how citizen diplomats access existent power mechanisms or even build new ones, as well as how they convert different types of capital into soft power resources in order to achieve diplomatic influence and impact at the policy level.
