Challenges in joint place branding in rural regions
2013
The purpose of this article is to explore joint place branding in rural regions, focusing on cooperation between the various stakeholders involved and on the salient features of rural regions that are used in the place branding process. Branding is conceptualized as a social process where brand value is co-created by the stakeholders. Place branding is seen as a participative process, bringing stakeholders together with the aim to strengthen the identity of the place. The fundamental question is how to build long-term commitment in a group of key stakeholders. Many sources discuss place branding for large cities, but rural regions have received little attention. The process of place brandin…
Framing Issues in The Specialised Discourse Of Diplomacy: A Quantitative and Qualitative Approach
2017
Relevant international issues, such as terrorism, immigration, climate change, human security, cybersecurity and so on, imply the construction of complex ideological and axiological discursive positions, which stem from a web of unavoidably superimposed emotional and moral evaluations, often interwoven with logical observations (Spinzi 2016). All transactions whether promoting ideologies and values or selling products are a way of profiting from the general representation of a nation, and strategic communication contributes to this by increasing appreciation and influencing people’s behaviour. Embracing the perspective that transformations in social life are led by discourse (Fairclough, 20…
Degrees of Acting Parliamentarily
2018
The chapter deals with the distinct chances to extend parliamentary thinking of politics beyond parliaments in ordinary sense and discuss its limits. The point of comparing the parliamentary paradigm with other types of politics, such as intra-party struggles or multilateral diplomacy, lies in constructing a spectrum from the parliament to other assemblies. To analyse parliamentary degree of politics for example the prefixes as proto-, semi-, quasi- or pseudo-parliamentary assemblies are analysed. A special case lies in the relationships between academic and parliamentary debates based on the recognition of the dissensus, but having for example different relationships to written and oral de…
Making Bishops in the Malta of the Knights, 1530-1798
2015
During the early modern age the appointment of Maltese bishops involved conflicts in the management of ecclesiastical patronage, jurisdictional issues and international diplomacy. The procedure for appointment, established by Charles v in 1530 when he granted Malta to the Order of St John, was the result of a compromise: safeguarding rights of royal patronage without undermining the independence of an international military order. It is important, however, to underline the reforming activity conducted by bishops appointed in such political ways, especially through the application of some institutions provided by the Council of Trent, such as diocesan synods.
Traveling Together as a Couple: Gender, Diplomacy, and Cultural Mediation in the Life of the Countess of Fernán Núñez, Spanish Ambassadress in Lisbon…
2023
Este artículo profundiza en el papel jugado por las mujeres como mediadoras culturales en el siglo XVIII. Su punto de partida es la figura poco conocida de María, condesa de Fernán Núñez, embajadora de España en Portugal (1777-1787) y Francia (1787-1791), quien llevó una vida transnacional marcada por viajes, cortes internacionales y embajadas, todos espacios de sociabilidad tradicionalmente vinculados al estudio de la mediación cultural, ámbito que en los últimos años ha comenzado a ser estudiado desde la perspectiva de género. La experiencia de la condesa arroja luz sobre las contribuciones de las esposas de los embajadores y diplomáticos a la vida política y cultural europea y sobre las …

In addition to reviewing the diaspora outreach initiatives of the eight countries, the article also utilizes …
Analyzing American Public Diplomacy: The case of Brand USA. When Tourism becomes an Ideological Tool
2016
This paper aims to study the communicative strategies used in the American campaign of public diplomacy.Our objective in this work is twofold: first, to verify whether behind the action of rebranding the image of the U.S.A. there is an ideological agenda; second, to identify the communication dynamics - both textual and semiotic - which have contributed to make the campaign successful and whether they are in line with the communicative profile of the U.S.A., adopting a handful of current models in intercultural studies.
Dialogue in and as European heritage
2022
In this article, we scrutinize the use and institutionalization of the concept of ‘dialogue’ in the cultural politics of the European Union. Our focus is on how dialogue is understood in the context of the European Union’s flagship heritage action, the European Heritage Label, that aims to strengthen citizens’ sense of belonging to the Union. Since heritage has gained increasing prominence in the European Union international relations, we also discuss how ‘dialogue’ is institutionalized in the European Heritage Label as part of the European Union’s heritage diplomacy. We approach dialogue in the context of the European Heritage Label as a floating signifier; an ideal seldom explicitly defi…
Norway-Russia disaster diplomacy for Svalbard
2020
Abstract The Arctic is frequently framed as a region of disaster and conflict, as well as of opportunity and cooperation. Disaster diplomacy is one approach for examining how dealing with disasters might or might not affect conflict and cooperation, yet little work on Arctic disaster diplomacy has been completed, especially regarding specific bilateral relations. This paper contributes to filling in this gap by focusing on the post-USSR era to provide the first examination of the prospects and relevance of Norway-Russia disaster-related interaction for the Svalbard archipelago. As a discussion paper focusing on one case study, Norway-Russia disaster diplomacy is analysed in the context of S…
三門湾事件時期『申報』所見対意大利的公衆情緒
2020
我们都知道意大利与中国在文化、经济、政治等领域交流非常丰富。这是罗马智慧大学传统研 究领域，而且很多意大利的研究人员通过分析各类文学作品(特别是耶稣会传教士与中国学者的 科学、地理学作品与旅游日记)来研究这些交流的不同方面及其结构。可是迄今为止，还没有任何 一部论著从中国近代报刊来研究意大利。正是因此，我选择了晚清时期《申报》中对意大利形象的 分析作为我博士论文的选题，即《晚清报刊中的意大利形象分析——案例分析(1872-1912)》。 而本文所讨论的主题便是我的博士论文研究的一部分。 在西方社会中报纸具有一种重要的任务，而从 19 世纪起，西方商人与传教士在中国推进了新 闻传播的发展，所以清末时期的外文与中文报刊很多，然而很少有报刊具有《申报》那样长的历史， 也很少有报刊产生了如同《申报》般重要的影响。
