Cultural Diplomacy in a Multipolar World

Cultural Diplomacy in a Multipolar World: History, Practice, and Future Horizons offers a comprehensive, ethically grounded reimagining of cultural diplomacy for the 21st century. Moving beyond Cold War paradigms and unipolar assumptions, this book presents a universal analytical framework that treats culture not as a tool of projection, but as a relational practice rooted in dialogue, reciprocity, and mutual learning. Central to the book is a vision of human-centred diplomacy that prioritises long-term human capital over short-term visibility, co-creation over national branding, and epistemic pluralism over civilisational hierarchy. Written for students, scholars, policymakers, and global citizens alike, it avoids partisan or national narratives, offering a neutral, interdisciplinary reference for navigating cultural exchange in a world of multiple, interdependent centres of influence.
