Università Roma Tre

The course of History of Conflict and Cultural Diplomacy offers an overview of the rule that culture plays in relationships between states, particularly in time of crises, tensions and wars. By combining frontal teaching, group work and individual presentations, the course will introduce students to the different characteristics of war, and to the different forms of propaganda, including the tools used to promote its image abroad and the public diplomacy. The core of the investigation will be the balance between soft power and hard power, from the 19th Century until the present day.
