English Abstract

This thesis sheds light on the meaning and usefulness of the concept of "Public Diplomacy".

Although some would question its utility as a concept, Public Diplomacy has entered the lexicon of the American and British Foreign Policy in the post 9-11 terrorist events.

Public Diplomacy, incorporated into Foreign Policy, revolves around methods for State and non-State representatives to qualify as a voice for their country to the outside world.

The thesis also traces the Public Diplomacy failures of the Palestinian leadership during and after the negotiations at Camp David II and it highlights the successes achieved at The Hague, when the International Court of Justice made it clear that the Israeli Wall and settlements were illegal.

While Neo-Realism is essential in understanding a State's policy to adopt a strong Public Diplomacy as a national objective and interest, it is not sufficient to explain the mechanisms and actors involved in this newly introduced concept.

With its emphasis on institutions and non-state actors, Institutionalism provides a better understanding and a comprehensive picture of the functioning of Public Diplomacy.

The thesis concludes with recommendations for implementation of an effective and sustainable Palestinian Public Diplomacy, paving the way for a potent, yet, peaceful and practical means to discredit the Israeli propaganda.
