Highlights
The article is devoted to e-diplomacy which is a component of public diplomacy
Public diplomacy has always been an important component of the foreign policy of the leading states of the world
E-diplomacy is a part of public diplomacy that is the interaction of individual groups and the interests of one country and another; a report on international activities and its impact on politics, a dialogue between those whose task is to establish and maintain a dialogue, both diplomats and foreign correspondents; as well as the process of intercultural communication [1]
Summary
The article is devoted to e-diplomacy ( known as digital diplomacy) which is a component of public diplomacy. Hanson, having a significant baggage of positions and statements of representatives of the U.S State Department on digital diplomacy, is forced to confine himself, as he puts it, to the “working definition” of the term: “the use of the world wide web and new information and communication technologies to assist in the implementation of foreign policy goals” [5].
