The project’s aim is to increase understanding of and opportunities for EU cultural diplomacy in Australia and Singapore. Examining the EU’s approaches to culture for external relations will contribute to better understanding cultural diplomacy as an evolving field focused on shared rather than nation-centric interests and expanding its potential in international relations. The project will result in enhanced opportunities for integrated EU cultural diplomacy in the Indo-Pacific region. It will also create an impetus for more focused research in this area, particularly in strategies for enhanced digital engagement across geographically and/or culturally remote communities.
