DIPLOMAȚIA CULTURALĂ ȘI COMBATEREA EXTREMISMULUI

Analysing DC’s role in preventing and countering internal or external extremism is not an easy task, despite the natural link between diplomacy, aimed at mutual knowledge, balance, consensus and negotiation and countering extremism. Transmitting a cultural experience stimulates a culture of understanding and empathy and respect for different ways of thinking, thus a culture of reconciliation. The definition of extremism itself, as sets of attitudes, contents, actions, in its multitude of forms of manifestation, is a difficult approach. The subject itself of external representation through institutionalized or non-institutionalized public diplomacy, aspects related to branding, intercultural communication, cultural diplomacy in general and public diplomacy, external communication, in particular, is relatively recent, firstly approached around two decades ago and still unsettled.
