Public Diplomacy bezeichnet alle Kommunikationsaktivitäten individueller und korporativer Akteure, die politische, wirtschaftliche, kulturelle oder wissenschaftliche Beziehungen zu anderen Ländern gestalten und die Wahrnehmung des eigenen Landes im Ausland beeinflussen. Der Band bietet die erste umfassende deutschsprachige Einführung in verständlicher Sprache in das Themenfeld und ist sowohl für Lehrzwecke als auch für Praktiker, z.B. Vertreter kultureller, wirtschaftlicher und Bildungsorganisationen, geeignet.
Claudia Auer entwickelt eine Theorie der Public Diplomacy, die handlungstheoretische Ansätze mit makrosoziologischen Perspektiven zusammenführt. Detailliert analysiert sie einen bislang kaum erforschten Bereich kommunikativen Handelns und zeigt gleichzeitig, dass mit der sozialtheoretischen Grundlegung nicht nur Public Diplomacy, sondern verschiedene Formen strategischer und öffentlicher Kommunikation theoretisch erfasst werden können. Ihre Überlegungen zum Entwurf einer Theorie der PR und des Journalismus lassen erkennen, dass diese auch in solchen Forschungsfeldern zu neuen und weiterführenden Erkenntnissen führen können, die bereits durch Sozialtheorien gut erfasst worden sind.

This fast-paced cinematic novel depicts a hip young American professor/poet's brief but deeply disturbing affair with an enigmatic Englishwoman named Sylvia. Set against the backdrop of the psychedelic 60s, the novel opens on the London literary scene where Bob and Sylvia become entangled. The action shifts to the art world and backwaters of the jet-set scene on the French Riviera, where the affair finally decays as Sylvia's drugged psyche disintegrates. Who is Sylvia? is a modern counterpart to the Classic American Expatriate genre of the 20s and 30s.
