What is cultural diplomacy? What is soft power? /
http://www.culturaldiplomacy.org/index.php?en_culturaldiplomacy

My Topic:

Korean cultural diplomacy and Korean Wave have problems and they should solve the problems. 

What I hope to learn from this source:
I want to learn the roles of cultural diplomacy and its history. Also, I want to find the difference between soft power and hard power.

Notes:

1. "Cultural Diplomacy may best be described as a course of actions, which are based on and utilize the exchange of ideas, values, traditions and other aspects of culture or identity, whether to strengthen relationships, enhance socio-cultural cooperation or promote national interests; Cultural diplomacy can be practiced by either the public sector, private sector or civil society."
2. Whilst the term "cultural diplomacy" has only recently been established, ~.
3. "The ability to persuade through culture, values and ideas, as opposed to 'hard power', which conquers or coerces through military might". 
4. Whilst the 'hard power' approach has historically been a favored policy of governments in conducting international and regional relations, the increasingly interconnected world stage highlights the need for co-operation on a new level. This is where the role of Soft Power as a form of cultural diplomacy becomes significant. On this basis, cultural diplomacy is not secondary to political or economic diplomacy, but rather functions as an intrinsic and necessary component of it.

Final Thoughts:

From this site, I could know the exact concept of cultural diplomacy and the difference between soft power and hard power. However, the information of its history was insufficient.

For more information related to cultural diplomacy, I used these sites, too.
