To commemorate the publication of the new “Handbook on Public Diplomacy,” the Institute for Public Diplomacy and Global Communication is hosting a series of webinars featuring some of the authors who contributed to the volume.

In this episode, longtime Senior Foreign Service Officer and former Charge D’Affaires at the U.S. Embassy in Paris Mark Taplin discusses his chapter on how public diplomacy has become fully integrated into the practice of diplomacy in recent decades, as well as current challenges for public diplomacy from the perspective of a career diplomat.
