      abstract = {This book aims to understand public diplomacy by examining  its practice. In particular, it focuses on the  implementation of educational and exchange programs by the  US Departments of State and Defense toward China.  Implementation is the focal point of this study and is  utilized both as a practical process and a methodology. It  refers to the process of translating a public diplomacy  policy goalthe specific order given to a governmental  institution in order to achieve a general foreign policy  objectiveinto public diplomacy practices and impact. In  addition, it refers to a research method that centers  implementation and accepts the prerequisite of discretion  from studies of policy implementation. This book maps out  where and by whom implementation discretion is exercised in  public diplomacy. It argues that public diplomacy is in the  eye of the beholder, and that its meanings can vary  significantly according to different actors. Di Wu is  Assistant Professor at Tongji University, China. Her  research sits at the intersection of foreign policy and  strategic communication, with geographic interests in China  and the US. Wu has published on soft power, public  diplomacy, and US-China relations.},
