Thinking about Public Diplomacy, soft power and political communications from a relational perspective
I’m Robin Brown. I work in the Institute of Communications Studies at the University of Leeds in the UK. I was originally trained in International Relations and Strategic Studies before joining ICS. Over the past few years or so I’ve been putting quite a lot of effort into working through the literature on social networks and social network analysis.
you can reach me at r.c.m.brown at leeds.ac.uk or on Twitter @rcmb

I hold an MA in International Communications from the University of Leeds and I’ve recently completed a Traineeship with the European Commission. I’m interested in small states public diplomacy, cultural diplomacy and nation branding.
Any way to contact the author of this blog?
Hi Craig,

Could I ask if this is the same Robin Brown who wrote the (1987) ‘Arms Control: Has the West lost its way?’ for the IEDSS?
That’s me
Robin what can you tell me about the IEDSS, did you have much contact with them as an organisation? I recently did an interview with Gerald Frost who used to be its director — I’m doing research into think tanks.
Robin: Are you familiar with WhirledView and our posts on public diplomacy?
Hello Patricia
Yes, I am. The Whirledview RSS is in my reader. I really must make an effort to add some more stuff to my blogroll.

Hi Robin,
Great blog, your insights and topics are very interesting. Perhaps we could add you to our blog roll (and perhaps you might consider adding us to yours!)
The ICD News blog is written and maintained by interns at the Institute of Cultural Diplomacy in Berlin. You can view the blog here

We focus on themes in cultural diplomacy and often overlap with issues of public diplomacy as well. We would love to hear your thought on our blog!
