Soft Power, Public and Cultural Diplomacies
3. Joseph Nye, who famously coined the phrase “soft power”, defined it as “the ability to attract people to our side without coercion”. In his book Soft Power, he suggested three main sources for a country’s soft power: “its culture, its political values, and its foreign policies”. In contemporary international relations the primacy of communicating a favorable image of a country, involving both state and non-state actors and networks, is mostly important (Joseph S. NYE 2005). Mr. Alan K. Herrikson in his discussion papers in Diplomacy referred to various definitions of Public Diplomacy. A definition offered in March 1966 by Dean Gullion, public diplomacy is the means by which governments, private groups and individuals influence the attitudes and opinions of other peoples and governments in such a way as to exercise an influence on their foreign policy decisions. According to Lord Carter of Coles, Public Diplomacy emphasize the need for two-way or interactive communication. The Report of The Public Diplomacy Council, based at the School of Media and Public Affairs of George Washington University, Washington, DC term ‘Public diplomacy seeks to promote the national interest and national security of a country through understanding, informing and influencing foreign publics and broadening dialogue between citizens and institutions of the two countries and their counterparts. Public diplomacy is practiced through tools including holding of lectures, seminars, academic programs, Journalists exchange programs, scholarships to media persons of host country, establishment of cultural centers and libraries, book translation programs, Research grants, language study, co-opting legislators, community leaders, decision-makers in ministries and other organizations, and key religious and political leaders of the host country. One essential element of soft power is cultural diplomacy. Cultural diplomacy is a set of activities undertaken by a country of the origin directly or through its diplomatic missions to promote of foreign policy objectives by introducing its cultural assets in the host country. In practice, cultural diplomacy includes promoting national culture and cultural identity and values and national language in the host state, negotiating international treaties on cultural cooperation, and supporting and keeping up contacts with expatriate communities in the host state. It also covers education, science and technology, sports, arts and literature, archives and heritage, etc. However, the structure, as well as the overall intensity of the cultural-diplomatic activities may vary depending on the state and its foreign policy priorities and ambitions (Pajtinka 2014).

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
