Engagement is applied in diplomacy as a synonym for a wider range of more specific practices of contact between an international actor and a foreign public, including public diplomacy, communication and the deployment of international aid. It is associated with the approach to foreign policy that some have dubbed smart power. It was the title of a 2008 anthology of essays on the future of public diplomacy published by the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office.〔 ''Engagement: Public Diplomacy in a Globalised World''(UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office, London , 2008) 〕 Since January 2009, it has been widely used by the administration of President Barack Obama in the United States. In May 2009, the Obama administration announced the creation of a unit within the National Security Council responsible for coordinating diplomacy, aid and international communication called the Global Engagement Directive. 〔Cam Simpson, ‘Obama Revamps National Security Posts,’ ''Wall Street Journal'', 27 May 2009〕 Variations on 'Engagement' include 'Strategic Public Engagement', which was first seen in June 2009 in a report by the Washington-based Think Tank Center for a New American Security entitled ''Beyond Bullets: A Pragmatic Strategy to Combat Violent Islamist Extremism.''〔 Kristin Lord, John Nagl & Seth Rosen, ''Beyond Bullets: A Pragmatic Strategy to Combat Violent Islamist Extremism.'' (Center for a New American Security, Washington DC, 2009)〕 The term engagement is used in both military and marketing contexts and thus has the advantage for the Obama administration of reassuring . Other terms might imply less neutrality or greater continuity with the approach of previous administration. 〔 These points are made in the essay by Professor Nicholas Cull of USC entitled 'Engagement is the new Public Diplomacy' () 〕 ==See also== * Engagement (military) * Engagement (marketing) * Public Diplomacy * Smart power 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Engagement (diplomacy)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
