Scholars from international relations, communication and other related fields discuss the importance and place of Cultural Diplomacy (CD) as a foreign affairs tool.

This article analyses the foreign policy of Kazakhstan through the prism of the modern version of the middle power concept that was elaborated upon by Korean scholars.

Public Diplomacy (PD) is an important tool that Korea uses in reaching its goals in international politics. One of Korea’s goals is persuading the global community to favor Korea’s position in the territorial dispute with Japan regarding Dokdo islands.

Public diplomacy is not a foreign concept to Russian-speaking authors. Nevertheless, there has been no systematic, comprehensive analysis of the Russian language-based academic literature on public diplomacy. This article attempts to fill this research gap. Thanks to the systematic literature analysis of 1002 articles included in the main data set,...
Japanese graphic arts, particularly manga novels, have developed into a global cultural phenomenon, functioning both as a source of entertainment and as a means of influencing perceptions. The majority of research conducted in this field addresses the topic of manga through the lens of soft power and in the context of globalization discourse. This...
Work on students' information literacy and research trajectories is usually based on studies of Western, English-speaking students.

However, the vast majority of scholarship focuses on the exchange experiences of international students in officially or technically English-speaking countries. The internationalisation of higher educat...
In the wake of the collapse of the Soviet Union, higher education in Central Asia started to rapidly internationalize. The work of transnational higher education institutions (THEIs), including branch campuses and schools sponsored by international organizations, allows the Central Asian states to de-monopolize and diversify sources of knowledge an...
It is widely accepted that South Korea has obtained middle-power status because it has fulfilled the necessary behavioral principles in its diplomacy. Even though the Republic of Korea is an active player in Central Asia, the topic of relationships between South Korea and Central Asian republics has barely been explored. Using case studies, the aut...
This article examines the policies of development cooperation promoted by Japan and Korea in Central Asia, focussing on the roles of discourses treating Japan and Korea as potential non-Western models for the region’s development and modernisation in their relations with Central Asian states. We trace the evolution of relevant developmental approac...
Through the Global Korea Scholarship (GKS) program, the government of the Republic of Korea annually invites over a thousand international students to learn the Korean language and obtain a higher education degree from Korean universities. One of the program's goals is positioned within the public diplomacy framework. Korea seeks to cultivate Korea...
Governments sponsor student-mobility programs with the expectation that students will build a more favorable and informed opinion of the host country which, in turn, will determine more favorable behavior towards the host country. Nevertheless, assessments of this logic are rare. Based on a survey of the Korean Government Scholarship Program’s alum...

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Central Asia’s emergence into independence necessitated adapting higher education systems originally intended to train state cadres to the new realities of the free market and globalisation. Transnational higher education institutions (TNHEIs) – institutions that provide higher education services and award higher education degrees...

The relevance of this study derives from the limited understanding of the mechanisms of public diplomacy that are activated when scholarship programs for international students are conducted by East Asian countries, particularly South Korea. Moreover, the relevance of the topic is also determined by the scarcity of research on the role of knowledge...
As a result of the Post-Cold War development, the international relations have shifted from bipolarism to a multipolarism. Once relevant Western-born IR theories lack explanatory power. Current IR witness the growing role of the non-Western states both in regional and international domains. Consequently, there is a growing need for appropriate IR t...
The ever-changing structure of international relations (IR) and the change of the policies of the actors in the international system cause many deficiencies in the IR literature. This situation leads to the loss of the validity and creates necessities of the IR studies because this is not a static field. Due to this reason, a big gap occurs in time...

Does hosting headquarters of international (regional) organizations contribute to country/city image? If you know some relevant studies please share.
There are plenty of studies that evaluate the impact of hosting mega-events on country/city image but here I am interested in long-lasting hosting rather than single-time events. Hence, I am curious whether there any that explicitly claims that hosting headquarters of international (regional) organizations contribute to the country/city's reputations/ image, etc?
Thanks
