Abstract:

In America’s global war on terrorism, phrases like “the war of ideas,” campaign to win the hearts and minds of Muslims,” and “public diplomacy” describe important themes. Although the United States had grown accustomed to conducting highly successful public diplomacy to win the war of ideas during the Cold War, its record in this realm in the post-9/11 era has been far from impressive. In this article I describe the new challenge and spell out possible ways of gaining an upper hand in this “war”.
