Engaging the Muslim World: Public Diplomacy After 9/11 in the Arab Middle East, Afghanistan, and Pakistan

By Jeanne Neal and Walter Douglas

Public diplomacy supports the interests of the United States by advancing American goals outside the traditional arena of government-to-government relations. Since 9/11, with the rise of al Qaeda and other violent organizations that virulently oppose the United States, public diplomacy in Muslim-majority countries has become an instrument to blunt or isolate popular support for these organizations. Efforts in this direction complement traditional public diplomacy that explains American policies and society to foreign publics.
