Details: Throughout this year's US presidential race, the candidates have made America's standing abroad a important piece of their foreign policy platforms.   What changes lie ahead in the way the United States presents itself to the world?  The imminent arrival of the next US president opens the possibility of dramatic changes not only in the crafting of America's image but also the receptivity to America's role from overseas.  This discussion convenes four panelist-contributors to The Routledge Handbook of Public Diplomacy  (Routledge 2008) on the occasion of its release.  On the basis of their contributions, they will evaluate the future prospects for American public diplomacy and offer suggestions and insights for its effectiveness.
