Abstract
The approach assumed by this research study concerns namely the
praxeological side of public diplomacy, found at the confluence with elements of state
power, more specifically with those features characteristic to the Intelligence activity.
The conceptual precariousness characterizing the field, both as an academic discipline
and an effective instrument of power, is highly emphasized. Thus, the operational
contextualization of public diplomacy, an approach enabled by emphasizing the role of
information and by synthesizing a perspective specific to the Intelligence area, is an
objective to be looked for. As a result, a comparative analysis is done between these two
dimensions, with a focus on the fact that they are not completely separated, and there
can be many common aspects, some of them transiting from one side to another.
Keywords: public diplomacy, intelligence, contextualization, comparative
analysis, ethics.
