		<description><![CDATA[Over at GuerrillaDiplomacy.com, Daryl Copeland was prepping for an upcoming symposium at the London Academy of Diplomacy by unpacking his thoughts on the implication associated with the emergence of a heteropolar world. His thinking about the shift from bipolar to heteropolar world got me thinking about the shift from negotiation/traditional diplomacy to collaboration/public diplomacy.

In the comments section, as well as other CPD posts, important observations have been raised about the challenges of cultural diplomacy. Developing a stronger “in-awareness” approach may be the key to designing and implementing rewarding cultural [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=battles2bridges.wordpress.com&amp;blog=23660800&amp;post=277&amp;subd=battles2bridges&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

In public diplomacy, culture’s web of influence spans across policy, practice and research and encompasses both sponsor and intended public.
