Abstract:
An effective public diplomacy and strategic communication strategy must look beyond short-term needs, assign clear authorities and responsibilities, and establish sensible processes to aid research, planning, clearing, and assessment. Congress can help by reauthorizing funds for the now-defunct U.S. Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacy, which can provide input to keep involved agencies from just serving themselves.
