Cultural Diplomacy: Issues and Perspectives features carefully selected readings and engaging learning activities that inspire creative thinking about cultural encounters. It frames cultural diplomacy as a vital 21st century phenomenon, presents readers with recent scholarship in the field, and underscores the importance of cultural intelligence in the context of international diplomacy.
Opening chapters offer a definition of cultural diplomacy and explore the development of culture programs, as well as the discord in such programs. Readers then learn about soft power, how to understand cultural patrimony, and how to develop the skillsets needed to demystify cultural encounters. Short articles by two veteran practitioners of cultural diplomacy distinguish this anthology. Each chapter enhances a specific skill and is organized around chapter objectives, a narrative introduction, selected articles, questions for reflection, suggested learning activities, and further reading.
Created to foster critical thought in the field, Cultural Diplomacy is an exemplary resource for courses and programs in international relations.

“Professor Scott Lingenfelter’s anthology is a useful collection which relays relevant information concerning cultural diplomacy. He has selected high-quality articles and other sources, offered comments on tough issues, raised provocative questions, and provided insightful comments. I was born and grew up during the Maoist era in China. I witnessed the normalization of US-China relations via Ping-Pong diplomacy. I understand the importance of cultural encounters in easing the tense international relationship. Indeed, Professor Lingenfelter's anthology is an important volume to anyone who wants to probe the issue concerning cultural diplomacy."
Patrick Shan, Professor, History Department, Grand Valley State University
"I had a chance to read Cultural Diplomacy, edited by my colleague, Scott Lingenfelter. I think it's an excellent anthology. The readings are interesting, and the pedagogical structure should be helpful to students. The collection would certainly be useful in a political science course focused on this topic, but I can also see it being used in a twentieth-century United States foreign policy course since a majority of the readings deal with elements of American international relations. I believe the notion of 'soft' power remains underexamined in American history and use of this collection could provide students with new insights into its importance."
