Welcome to "PsyDip", a blog for Psychological Diplomacy topics.
In contrast to "psychological warfare", which is the use of psychological weapons to influence the mind of the enemy, "psychological diplomacy" is the use of psychological tools to augment shared understanding between two or more countries.
What you will find here are open questions and food for thought, in the spirit of the dialectical method of learning and engagement. Most of the content here will focus on perspectives from the United States. Comments are encouraged.
