Public Diplomacy
In several papers with Juve J. Cortés-Rivera, we address the fundamental challenge of evaluating the success or failure of public diplomacy efforts. As these initiatives rely on influencing public opinion in other countries, it is vital to consider how best to measure public opinion in a systematic fashion over time. In these papers, we propose several ways to overcome research design obstacles to measure the efficacy of public diplomacy initiatives.
