STRATEGIC COMMUNICATION AND THE NEW PUBLIC DIPLOMACY: CONSUBSTANTIALITY AND PERCEPTION IN THE NATIONAL PUBLIC SPACE

Abstract

In this article we aim to make a synthesis of the concepts "public diplomacy" and "strategic communication". We also try to identify the correlation between these two communication phenomena and their perception at the level of national public opinion. In the context of the confrontation between East and West, of geopolitical confrontations, the concept of "strategic communication" is perceived in the European space mainly as a way to protect European values and secure the European information space.
