Public Diplomacy 2.0

Public Diplomacy 2.0, as conceived by Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy James Glassman, is not a technology, but an approach. The idea is to use social networking tools such as Youtube, Facebook, and Twitter to persuade individuals throughout the globe to find peaceful outlets for their political grievances.

Public Diplomacy 2.0 is predicated on the assumption that the State Department’s role is to facilitate a conversation, rather than to conduct public relations for the United States government.
