New Poll: Obama Image Unscathed by Terrorism Controversy/La imagen de Obama sale ilesa a pesar de la creciente crítica a sus políticas antiterroristas
1. Citizen criticism about anti-terrorism policies are increasing
BUT
2. Image of Obama is unaffected, still very possitive
In my opinion all of this have to do with a strong (or relative strong) system of Public Diplomacy, which other countries lack (unfortunately)
Asi que ya lo sabeis: según esta nueva encuesta del prestigioso centro Pew Research que estudia las actitudes de los ciudadanos estadounidenses ante las políticas antiterroristas y su influencia en al imagen del gobierno se sacan dos conclusiones:
1. que a pesar de que crece la crítica hacia las políticas antiterroristas
2. esto no afecta a la iamgen de Obama, que sale indemne y sigue siendo positiva.
Curiosidades de un sistema de diplomacia pública sólido (o relativamente sólido) del que carecen otros países por desgracia!

Diplomacia Pública 2.0: pura y dura teoría
viernes, 4 de septiembre de 2009
What is my last research paper about? Abstract in English
ABSTRACT
The research paper has two parts: the first one explores the expectations of the change of administrations, the first reactions to the new President and some of the most difficult issues he had to tackle in his first 100 days of government. The surveys of the Pew Research Center and Elcano Royal Institute served as the basis for the work carried out. The second part presents how public diplomacy is articulated through the federal structures, the different views of each head and change and continuity from Bush to Obama.
The US global image was at a historical low after the Bush administration. It is not a secret that the world’s support of US was in decline during his last years. Obviously the country’s image abroad suffered the consequences. To tell the truth it is not fair to attribute all the ills of the negative image to policies. Public diplomacy’s strategies might also have played a part being not well consolidated. The image failure during the last years of the Bush Administration might have something to do with both reasons: badly oriented policies and a public diplomacy strategy lacking resources and views.
In his first trip outside the American continent Obama had a very ambitious aim: to launch an emergency plan against the world economic crisis and to convince his NATO partners of the necessity of a new strategy for Afghanistan. Both things were not going to be easy, as they were main issues to which European public opinion had showed its opposition.
The first part of this paper is devoted to this matter
For 124 days, Obama’s administration has not appointed a head for PD. During this period of time a debate has opened between the experts on what US PD for this administration should be. It was clear that when President Obama appointed Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State, the soft power issue was going to continue being a central part of the Department. But PD was also crucial for the Bush administration, especially after September 11th.
What are the differences between the two administrations regarding public diplomacy? What is the key to PD after Bush? What ruptures and what continuity can we find? If on balance the last Under Secretary appointed by Bush, James Glassman, had been positive, in the opinion of many, including Democrats, should US PD change as had other policies with Obama’s arrival at the White House? What should be the ideal background of the new Under Secretary? What kind of leader were Clinton and Obama looking for?
The second part of this paper aims to answer all these questions.
