MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR
The “third wave” of democratization in
the late 1980s enabled the world’s citizens to participate politics as well as
diplomacy. In line with this trend, there has been a paradigm shift from
professional diplomacy to public diplomacy. The Korean Government is now
actively involved in public diplomacy, having appointed its first Ambassador of
Public Diplomacy and having established the Center for Public Diplomacy.
Ewha Womans University was the first in
Korea to initiate both graduate and undergraduate courses in public diplomacy
as a pioneer in academia. Ewha seeks to uphold the social responsibility of
universities by developing a model of Korean public diplomacy through research,
education and training, implementation, networking, and service-sharing. By
doing so, Ewha aims to strengthen governmental and citizen capacity for
building public diplomacy.
