The public diplomacy of the United States, argues Lord (military and naval strategy, Naval War College), has always been a "bureaucratic backwater and a cultural tar baby," lacking a core institutional base, an established infrastructure of education and training, a stable cadre of personnel, an operational doctrine, and roles and missions understood by national security professionals and political elites. Further, it operates in a cultural milieu of congressional and public hostility to government management of information. Seeing this situation as a major impediment to the successful prosecution of the "war on terror," he analyzes the reasons these limitations, including the problematic relationship between public diplomacy and commercial journalism and the "political correctness" of contemporary American liberalism. He then argues for bureaucratic and organizational reforms that can strengthen public diplomacy, including the resurrection of the US Information Agency, the placement of oversight responsibilities for US international broadcasters under the reconstituted USIA, greater focus on public diplomacy within the Department of Defense, and a recognition of the crucial role of the president's speeches and actions in the wider sphere of public diplomacy.
