Welcome to Greenfields... the blog for public diplomacy and international cultural relations.

What is public diplomacy? Are international cultural relations important? What "works?..... indeed is there such as thing as "works" in the arena of "soft power".

Easy to mock; difficult to measure; impossible to prove. But more and more countries, international organisations and others are increasing their own public diplomacy and cultural relations. It is, in short, a growth industry.

This blog tackles concerns of the day. It is unofficial. It wants to provoke thought and debate. Not invective or thoughtless assaults. Partisan.. yes.. it is partisan in seeking to understand, to learn and to share.
