Abstract

The conduct of traditional public diplomacy was merely concerned on the engagement of state actors. Not to mention, diplomatic communication is only occurred between the government officials by intention to earned political changes in targeted countries. Recently, public diplomacy is mainly focused on the positive reputation building in the other country and is conducted through political and economic cooperation among two countries or more, by involving the non-state actors also. Starting from its economic reforms initiative, China is engaged in international trade and successfully became one of global economic powers. By its rapid raise, China is feared to be a national threat to other countries, be it politically, economically, or even for the national security. Even more, the Western media often portrays China?s image in a negative light. Hence, in improving its global image, China expands its global outreach by establishing cooperation with the United States film industry, Hollywood, that strengthen by the 2012?s Memorandum of Understanding upon film industry, also by implementing Chinese censorship policy, where negative portrayals of China is prohibited. The conduct of censorship itself would be supervised under state-ruled agency, the SAPPRFT, and is supported by the involvement of Chinese multinational companies investors. Through this research study, the effort of China?s public diplomacy on the utilization of Hollywood as the United States film industry would be proven through new public diplomacy theory. Further, the role of multinational corporations will be assessed due to its essential contribution in enhancing Chinese censorship in Hollywood films for its global release.

Abstract

AbstractFood has a story and people are the sole object constructing the story. Food also has meaning for a community group,where tradition, customs, values, and geographical location will determine what kind of dish is placed in a servingdevice. In other words, food can not be separated from the cultural aspects of a community group, because of courseevery community or a nation has a distinctive style to the food and in the end can set the identity. The concept ofgastronomy is certainly not a rare and peculiar thing, but when it is combined with diplomacy, the story may bedifferent. A decade and a half ago, a leading weekly magazine raised the news about gastro diplomacy activities andmade International Relations scholars captivated to further interpret this concept. This paper will elaborate theconcepts, practices, and debates surrounding gastro diplomacy regarding disparities to similar concepts. In addition,this paper also tries to analyze the affiliation of gastro diplomacy with nation branding. The purpose of this paper isto provide a comprehensive overview of the concept of gastro diplomacy.Keywords: gastro diplomacy, cultural diplomacy, public diplomacy, nation branding AbstrakMakanan memiliki sebuah kisah dan manusia merupakan objek tunggal yang mengkonstruksi kisah itu. Makanan jugamemiliki makna bagi suatu kelompok masyarakat, dimana tradisi, adat istiadat, nilai-nilai sampai letak geografisakan menentukan hidangan jenis apa yang diletakan dalam sebuah peranti saji. Dengan kata lain, makanan tidak bisaterlepas dari aspek budaya suatu kelompok masyarakat, karena tentunya setiap kelompok masyarakat ataupun suatubangsa memiliki corak yang khas terhadap makanannya dan pada akhirnya dapat menata identitas. Konsep tentanggastronomi sudah tentu bukan hal langka dan ganjil, namun ketika ini dipadukan dengan diplomasi, ceritanya bisalain. Satu setengah dekade lalu, sebuah majalah mingguan terkemuka mengangkat berita tentang aktivitas gastrodiplomasi dan membuat para akademisi Hubungan Internasional terpikat untuk menginterpretasi lebih jauh konsepini. Tulisan ini akan mengelaborasi konsep, praktik, dan perdebatan seputar gastro diplomasi mengenai disparitasterhadap konsep-konsep yang serupa. Selain itu, tulisan ini juga mencoba menganalisis afiliasi gastro diplomasidengan nation branding. Tujuan dari tulisan ini untuk memberikan gambaran secara menyeluruh mengenai konsepgastro diplomasi.Kata-kata Kunci: Gastro Diplomasi, Diplomasi Kebudayaan, Diplomasi Publik, Nation Branding

Abstract

Since the United States Information Agency (USIA) is no longer active to operate cultural diplomacy in the post-cold war, the concept of cultural diplomacy has experienced a time of crisis in the context of International Relations studies. For a decade, cultural diplomacy was marginalized and considered obsolete until finally in the early 2000s, cultural diplomacy was revived and activated both in practice and theory. Since then, cultural diplomacy has returned to its path. The discourse of cultural diplomacy in International Relations studies has developed to gain more specific activities. This is a qualitative research, with the aim of understanding cultural diplomacy in a more holistic way. The results of this study indicate a debate and a lack of consensus on several aspects of cultural diplomacy and bringing much unclear explanation.  This study also shows a dichotomy between cultural diplomacy and other approaches.

Abstract

Gastrodiplomasi adalah diplomasi budaya yang menggunakan makanan sebagai sarana untuk meningkatkan kesadaran terhadap merek sebuah negara. Thailand merupakan negara pertama yang memahami tentang bagaimana menggunakan gastrodiplomasi dan kepentingannya. Pada tahun 2002, sebagai bentuk gastrodiplomasi, pemerintah Thailand meluncurkan program kampanye yang dikenal dengan ‘Global Thai Campaign.’ Kampanye ini merupakan salah satu strategi pemerintah Thailand untuk mengubah image negaranya, hal itu karena citra Thailand yang terkenal mempromosikan pekerja seks sebagai wisata di negaranya. Selain itu, kampanye ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan jumlah restoran Thailand di seluruh dunia serta mengubah pandangan buruk masyarakat internasional terhadap Thailand. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan berbagai macam teknik berdasarkan data dari beberapa dokumen dan penulis. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk membuktikan adanya upaya national branding oleh pemerintah Thailand melalui praktik gastrodiplomasi sejak tahun 2002 dan menjadi topik utama di dunia internasional sehingga negara-negara lain dapat mengikuti cara yang telah dilakukan Thailand. Teori yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini menggunakan teori gastrodiplomasi dan konsep nation brand. Hasil dari penelitian ini membuktikan bahwa melalui program gastrodiplomacy, pemerintah Thailand dapat menyebarkan restoran-restoran Thailand di berbagai negara dimana secara langsung mempromosikan makanan khas Thailand. Berdasarkan data yang di dapat, kampanye gastrodiplomacy Thailand memiliki pengaruh yang besar terhadap negara lain dalam hal kuliner serta terhadap Thailand sendiri, salah satunya adalah jumlah kunjungan wisatawan asing di Thailand meningkat dengan drastis.
