The document discusses whether the Fulbright Program constitutes public diplomacy. It summarizes that public diplomacy involves communication between a sovereign state and private citizens of other states, through accredited representatives. However, the Fulbright Program involves U.S. citizens studying abroad as well as foreign citizens studying in the U.S., which does not neatly fit the definition. There is also ambiguity within the State Department over whether public diplomacy refers to accredited diplomats or non-government persons. This ambiguity and lack of clear definition means it is unclear whether the Fulbright Program should be considered public diplomacy.
