Building Shared Practice and Tradecraft
Publications in this section guide the practice of modern public diplomacy in the field. The primary volume establishes a standard to which PD sections and teams should aspire, rather than a rigid checklist intended to prescribe the day-to-day operations of PD sections that have a variety of competing demands, priorities, and existing workflows. The judgment of PAOs and other leaders is paramount in the practice of modernized public diplomacy operations. This section of the publication is tailored to Public Diplomacy Sections at overseas posts. Other PD professionals may use this volume and adapt it to their purpose (e.g., in a functional bureau based in Washington, D.C.).
