Abstract

This chapter addresses how the social media have become a more profound force in shaping international values throughout the wider diplomatic community. It examines the changing nature of public and cultural diplomacy (PCD) within the context of evolving global communications. It also considers the extent to which the social media may facilitate the use of new ‘currencies’ of dialogue, outreach and propagation of opinion as key bargaining tools. It concludes by considering whether such employment of soft power really equates to a democratisation of foreign policies, or rather, reflects a reconfiguration of elite interests within the international order.
