US Counterterrorism Strategy: Sticks and Carrots‎ - Helle Dale, Heritage.org:  "The counterterrorism strategy published by the Obama Administration in June was not exactly a hard-hitting document, turning counterterrorism into a law enforcement issue and generally containing few details and little new thinking. When Secretary of State Hillary Clinton addressed the subject on September 9, the subject took on more life. ... Counterterrorism communication, which was given prominence by Bush’s last Undersecretary for Public Diplomacy, James Glassman,

falls into the 'soft power' part of the strategy and, as such, was given prominence in Clinton’s speech. The State Department’s Center for Strategic Counterterrorism Communications (CSCC) was created as part of Clinton’s Quadrennial Development and Diplomacy Review. ... The counterterrorism communications capability within State has been taking shape over the past year, focused on answering terrorist propaganda and dissuading potential recruits. The center coordinates the interagency process and now has a presidential mandate in the form of an executive order published last week. Among its most promising initiatives is a digital outreach team, which takes the fight to contested media Web sites and forums, where extremists read propaganda and recruit followers. Taking on the radicals on their own turf and countering their narratives is an endeavor the U.S. government needs to develop and back strongly. In her speech, Clinton gave an example of just the kind of creative effort that makes for excellent public diplomacy as well as counterterrorism strategy. ... The CSCC contains the germ of government-wide coordination in public diplomacy and strategic communication that has been missing for too long. If properly developed and meshed with the 'hard power' tools of U.S. counterterrorism strategy, it could represent a clear advance in the battle for the hearts and minds of Muslims." Image from

The US Advisory Commission on PD: September 2011 Meeting - Yelena Osipova, Global Chaos: "The US Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacy - charged with 'appraising U.S. Government activities intended to understand, inform, and influence foreign publics' - held its Nth public meeting today morning. Acting Assistant Secretary for Educational and Cultural Affairs J. Adam Ereli was the special guest, presenting all the great American efforts in public diplomacy through cultural and educational exchange initiatives. ... Arriving there half an hour before the start of the meeting turned out to be insufficient, even though we were advised to show up just 15 mins earlier. After standing in one line for 20 minutes, I was told that I should probably go to the other exit. At 9:55am, five minutes before the start of the meeting, there were close to a hundred people outside, waiting in line, to be enlightened about the most recent developments in public diplomacy and exchanges. The line was there for half an hour. No one was let in. The reason? Apparently, the security screening machines had broken down. And no, it didn't matter if you had registered in advance (which involved sending them quite a bit of personal information), you still couldn't get in for seemingly obvious reasons. (Could this be a great example of the efficiency of the State Department?) Long story short, by the time we got in it was close to 10:35am (i.e. we missed more than half of the meeting, and certainly most of the presentation), so my account starts at that point. ... As we walked in, Ambassador Ereli was recounting all the virtues of exchange programs, Fulbright

featuring most prominently among those. ... Last weekend marked the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks: Ten years since public diplomacy supposedly regained its importance. Ten years of experimentation and theorizing... and yet, it seems the DoS still has a lot to learn. Public diplomacy is still about 'winning over' and 'influencing'. What is more, public diplomacy - especially cultural diplomacy - is obviously not fully understood. How does it work? How does it work best? Is it really just about chemistry? ... Again, I should say I missed most of that meeting. Ambassador Ereli might have discussed much more substantive and informative issues while I was waiting in the line outside. To find out, I guess, I will have to wait for some four months for the minutes of this public meeting to be released." Ereli image from article. On Apostrophe Catastrophes, see.

Islamabad, Pakistan: Gaining understanding - Kimberly Walz, sfgate.com: "Just back from: Islamabad, Pakistan [.]I went because: I went on a public diplomacy trip sponsored by the U.S. State Department to promote cultural understanding between the United States and Pakistan. Don't miss: Monal Restaurant, with amazing views of Islamabad.

Also make sure you check out the ornately decorated trucks on the highway.

Coolest souvenir: Chair cushions made from pieces of vintage wedding dresses. Worth a splurge: Textiles. Hotel Serena.

'Transformational diplomacy' or 'regime change'? - Paul T. Shipale‎, New Era: "In a August 23, 2007 CRS report for the US Congress, foreign policy analysts Kennon H. Nakamura and Susan B. Epstein of the Congressional research service division of foreign affairs, defense and trade, alluded to th[e] so-called 'Transformational Diplomacy' which is nothing else than the 'Regime Change' doctrine. ... [S]everal new programs were created to advance the transformational public diplomacy agenda in today’s communications environment. In this connection, there is a Rapid Response Unit that monitors foreign broadcasts and blogs and produces a daily one-to-two page report on stories

and issues that are discussed. This daily report, which is sent to an e-mail list of several thousand senior officials from Cabinet Secretaries to Ambassadors and Military Commanders, serves to provide a common 'American message' through an 'Echo Chamber' Technique where policy statements are posted on the State Department Intranet to present what they call a unified message on key issues attracting attention in the international media. This provides a common position for those who need to write speeches, draft editorials, and prepare responses to inquiries. A common message is 'echoed' instead of several different messages. 'Unleashing' ambassadors means eliminated former pre-clearance rules so that ambassadors or senior embassy officers can engage the media in their host countries without permission from Washington. Ambassadors and senior embassy officers are expected to speak out, and the ability to engage in public diplomacy is now part of their rating system. Further, transformational diplomacy also treats public diplomacy on a regional basis by establishing new regional public diplomacy hubs such as the one in London, Dubai, and Brussels, to focus on regional news outlets, such as Al-Jazeera, instead of focusing on the bilateral relations with those countries."  Image from

Peru honors Levin with award‎ - Caroline Tan, Yale Daily news:%22Just under a year ago, Peruvians marched in the streets of Lima to protest Yale’s continued possession of thousands of their country’s cultural artifacts. Yesterday, representatives of the Peruvian government and the University gathered in Washington, D.C., to celebrate the University and the conflict’s amicable resolution.

The Peruvian ambassador to the United States, Harold Forsyth, presented Yale President Richard Levin the Order 'The Sun of Peru' in the grade of “Great Cross” from the Peruvian government at the Embassy of Peru residence in Washington, D.C. Levin’s distinction comes after over a decade of disputes between the University and Peru over the ownership of relics that had been housed at in New Haven since their discovery between 1911 and 1916 by Hiram Bingham III 1898. Over 350 pieces of Bingham’s discovery were moved to Cusco, the capital of the former Inca empire, this summer in time for the 100th anniversary of Bingham’s arrival at Machu Picchu. The rest of the artifacts will be returned by Dec. 31, 2012. ... Luis Chang, head of public diplomacy [at the Pruvian Embassy], said the pieces were greeted with enthusiasm because of their 'iconic' appeal. He added that he was glad that Peru was able to reach a friendly agreement with Yale and that both sides could benefit from shared research."

Studies of India and Indian Public Diplomacy - Studies of India and Indian Public Diplomacy: "The other day somebody tweeted a link to the news that the Indian Council for Cultural Relations was setting up a Chair in Contemporary Indian Studies at the University of Edinburgh. A couple of days ago there was a reference to the Australian prime minister setting up a chair of Australian studies in Beijing. Promoting the academic study of your country is a venerable public diplomacy tool and one that hasn’t attracted much academic attention with partial exception of American and Canadian studies. During the Cold War the promotion of American Studies was one tool in the US PD armoury although it now appears to be one that has fallen out of favour so it’s interesting to see what other countries are up to. ... Evan Potter’s Branding Canada provides a useful summary of Canada’s ‘studies’ programme.

This has tried to develop the study of Canada by foreign academics in their own countries with the Canadian government supplying much more limited levels of financial support than the Indian approach but also trying to catalyse the development of networks and organizations devoted to the study of Canada. ... You could argue that India could learn quite a lot from the Canadian model of trying to catalyse foreign studies – as a rising power India will attract increasing attention and it would make sense to build links with that developing field."

PMO drags its feet on funding programs for Diaspora high-school students in Israel: The delay in funding comes at a time when the Israeli government is expanding its funding for the Birthright program, which focuses on university-aged students - Chaim Levinson, haaretz.com: "The Prime Ministers Office has yet to deliver on a financial promise made to a coalition of organizations promoting high-school programs for Diaspora youth in Israel. The delay in funding for the organization, Lapid, comes at a time when the Israeli government is expanding its funding for the Birthright program, which focuses on university-aged students. Lapid represents a coalition of groups that bring younger, high-school age Diaspora Jews to Israel in an effort to strengthen their Jewish and Zionist commitment before they go to college. In June 2010, representatives of Lapid, which is funded through charitable contributions, received a commitment by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to provide NIS 4 million in funding from the Ministry of Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs."

DC Gastrodiplomacy via Embassies - Paul Rockower, Levantine: "The Washington Diplomat has an article this month on DC embassies engaging in gastrodiplomacy.

Nothing came out of it but lo and behold they have a piece on culinary diplomacy two months later It's cool, ideas are free." Image from

In implementing its foreign politics, the PPR applied different diplomatic techniques; direct diplomacy and semi-official contacts, as well as public diplomacy, though not necessarily with any major success. Warsaw’s possibilities were influenced not only by its image

as a member of the Eastern block, but also by the changing perception of the past and generational changes which made the factor related to Poland’s and Germany’s roles in World War II less significant from the point of view of the representatives of many Western countries." Image from

Ron Paul's Fantasy Empire: The presidential hopeful says the U.S. occupies too many countries with too many troops—130 countries to be exact. It's a respectable argument, but is it true? - Bret Stepens, Wall Street Journal: The Pentagon's 2010 Base Structure Report notes that the U.S. maintains a total of 662 bases abroad. But of those, only 20 were listed as "large sites" and another 12 as "medium sites." The rest (630) were listed as either "small" or "other" sites. That's one reason the total number of bases changes from year to year. Then there's Mr. Paul's line about U.S. forces being "in 130 countries." Really? The truth is that American soldiers are in even more countries than that—but only if you count the small Marine detachments that provide security for our embassies world-wide. By that measure, we're in every country from Albania, where we have eight Marines, to Zimbabwe, where we have nine. In fact, according to figures compiled by the Defense Manpower Data Center, as of September 2010 the bulk of U.S. forces

deployed overseas (not including those on ships or in transit) are stationed in just seven countries: Afghanistan, Iraq, Japan, South Korea, Germany, the U.K. and Italy, all of which are home to at least 9,000 troops. Aside from Afghanistan and Iraq (which may soon drop off that list) all of these are World War II and Cold War legacies. Another five countries—Spain, Turkey, Belgium (the headquarters of NATO), Bahrain and Djibouti—have between 1,000 and 1,500 troops. The next largest deployments are Portugal (703), Qatar (555) Honduras (403) and Greece (338). Image from

Ukrainian TV: Money-losing propaganda machines for oligarchs and nation’s leaders - Oksana Grytsenko, kyivpost.com: To nation's billionaires, having national PR platforms are more important than media profits. When one Ukrainian billionaire oligarch bought a television channel in 2010, rumor has it that after he looked at the costs and revenues, he suggested not bothering with advertising as it brought in so little money.

Even if this story is apocryphal, it highlights the fundamental principle behind the work of Ukrainian television channels. Unprofitable, they rely on the largesse of their owners and carry out their will without complaining about censorship. The owners, meanwhile, hand over money without complaining about losses. Media experts say this vicious circle is unlikely to change until the number of national television channels falls and the advertising market grows. Image from article

Anti-American Press - GermanyWatch: A neurotic obsession is like a bone stuck in your throat. You can't swallow it and you can't spit it out. That is how the German media are hooked on America. It doesn't look quite sane. So when the German Organs of Propaganda go weird and hateful, get ready to worry. Examples of obsessive anti-Americanism are all over big German news magazines like Spiegel and Stern. For instance; 1. The Statue of Liberty with a death's head instead of the Romantic goddess of liberty. 2. A close-up of the American flag covered with "BLUT FÜR ÖL". 3. George Bush in front of a giant black cross, "A MISSION FROM GOD." 4. A horrible Abu Ghraib figure in black garb, headlined "THE TORTURERS OF BAGHDAD." 5. A sadistic-looking Rambo muscle man on the cover, emblazoned "OPERATION RAMBO --- The Secret Troops of the USA." 6. Germany's largest trade union, I.G Metall, used a picture of a cartoon Mosquito with Abe Lincoln's hat, for their large circulation magazine. The Magazine's Cover Read: "US-Firms in Germany: The (Blood-) Suckers". The article was headlined "The Plunderers are here!" This is the mainstream press in Germany. In other words, what Leftist nutroots make up as paranoid fantasies becomes the dominant narrative in Germany. And their endless refrain is that American soldiers are no better than Nazis.

Rare Color Photographs of Hitler Hit Auction Block - abcnews.go.com: Rare color photographs of the Adolf Hitler have surfaced and will be put on the auction block at Dreweatts in London Sept. 20. Although the images aren’t the first of their kind, they are extremely rare, said Randy Bytwerk, a professor at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Mich. Bytwerk created and maintains the German Propaganda Archive. “We’re so used to seeing Hitler in black and white, that it’s startling to see the color,” Bytwerk said.

One photograph (from article) shows the dictator in a striking blue suit and signature glare surrounded by four men who are wearing traditional Bavarian hunting attire. Another photo (from article) shows the chancellor shaking the hand of a rosy-cheeked girl,

who was a member of the League of German Maidens, the girls faction of the Hitler Youth movement, handing Hitler flowers. Her blond hair and blue eyes, Hitler’s Aryan ideal, are hard to miss in the photograph. “We have so many black-and-white photographs just like this one, so it is very striking to see one in color,” Bytwerk said.
