Book Description
Engaging the Arab & Islamic Worlds through Public Diplomacy A Report and Action Recommendations
Edited by William A. Rugh
As the U.S.-led war on terror presses on, many Americans wonder why foreign public opinion has grown measurably hostile to the United States and what can be done about it. These questions cannot be adequately addressed without understanding how U.S. policies toward Arab and Muslim worlds are conveyed to these nations through our public diplomacy efforts.
Engaging the Arab and Islamic Worlds through Public Diplomacy is the first book to tackle these issues by turning to the practitioners themselves. In this volume, eleven seasoned professionals analyze specific tools of public diplomacyincluding foreign exchange programs, television broadcasting, and face-to-face dialogueand show how a mix of new and classic methods can help us interact more successfully with people in Arab and Muslim countries.
The publisher is the Public Diplomacy Council.

Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
At long last there is a book by public diplomacy practicioners and Middle East experts who really understand how and why the United States must engage with the Arab and Islamic worlds. Ambassador Rugh, the editor, and 10 essayists, most of whom have lived and worked in the region and who have a first person understanding of the importance of public diplomacy, have produced a first rate book that any student of the either the Arab and Islamic worlds or of public diplomacy/strategic communication would find invaluable.
