Reviews

Efe Sevin's book is a must read for practitioners, scholars, and students of public diplomacy, particularly those who are interested in the evaluation of public diplomacy projects. Furthermore, the book will appeal to IR scholars, who have generally been pessimistic about public diplomacy, perhaps because of the unintended dissonance with public diplomacy of the IR discipline.
