摘要

推特如今被视为美国外交的重要沟通平台。在所有外交推文中，美国总统发布的推文分量最大，有很大潜力影响人们对国家的看法。在这项研究中，我们对推特时代前两任总统发布的2000多条推文的原始数据集进行了跨总统比较分析。特别是，我们测试了一种普遍认为的观点，即巴拉克·奥巴马的沟通内容和语气积极反映了美国在国外的形象，有可能扩大软实力——这是一项重要的外交政策资产——而唐纳德·特朗普的沟通对美国的形象产生了负面影响，可能会侵蚀美国的形象和软实力。研究结果表明，总统在推特上的交流内容和方式可能会对美国的海外形象和美国软实力产生深远而不同的影响。

WORDS MATTER

Twitter is regarded today as an essential communication platform of U.S. diplomacy. Of all diplomatic tweets, those published by U.S. presidents carry the greatest weight and hold great potential to influence perceptions of the country. In this study, we conduct cross-presidential comparative analyses on an original dataset of over 2,000 tweets published by the first two presidents of the Twitter era. In particular, we test the commonly held notion that the substance and tone of Barack Obama's communication reflected positively on America's image abroad, with the potential to expand soft power—a vital foreign policy asset—while Donald Trump's communication reflected negatively on America's image, potentially eroding the nation's image and its soft power. Findings demonstrate that what and how presidents communicate on Twitter may produce profound and disparate impacts on America's image abroad and on U.S. soft power.

期刊介绍： World Affairs is a quarterly international affairs journal published by Heldref Publications. World Affairs, which, in one form or another, has been published since 1837, was re-launched in January 2008 as an entirely new publication. World Affairs is a small journal that argues the big ideas behind U.S. foreign policy. The journal celebrates and encourages heterodoxy and open debate. Recognizing that miscalculation and hubris are not beyond our capacity, we wish more than anything else to debate and clarify what America faces on the world stage and how it ought to respond. We hope you will join us in an occasionally unruly, seldom dull, and always edifying conversation. If ideas truly do have consequences, readers of World Affairs will be well prepared.
