摘要
近年来,公共外交的兴起日益受到人们的瞩目。本文从几种国外流行的公共外交概念入手,分析公共外交的本质特征、兴起原因及其作用,并通过介绍西方国家公共外交机构改革情况,对我国的公共外交工作提出建议。公共外交的发展反映了当代国际关系行为主体多元化、矛盾竞争复杂化等新特点,体现了当代政治的发展、外交制度的完善和外交方式的创新,发展和完善公共外交工作对于消除“中国威胁论”,扩大中国的国际影响,具有重要意义。
In recent years, public diplomacy has gradually drawn people's attention. This essay reviews different definitions of public diplomacy used in foreign academic circles, with a focus on analysis of its nature, origin and development, and functions. By introducing the reform of public diplomacy in western countries, it puts forward suggestions on China's public diplomacy. This essay argues that the development of public diplomacy is the logical result of such new developments in contemporary international relations as the increase in international participants and the complicating affects of international competition. public diplomacy is a reflection of the political development, progress of diplomatic mechanisms, and innovation in diplomatic practices. The development and further improvement of public diplomacy will help eliminate the so-called 'China Threat' and promote China's international reputation.
