Crisis is seen as a reaction to serious violations of expectations that leave people disoriented, insecure about situational norms, and unable to judge whom to trust. One logical solution to a crisis is to rebuild a shared understanding of the norms involved in any given context. Banking is used as a case. Central concepts are borrowed from Niklas Luhmann Trust (1968), Alf Ross Directives and Norms (1967), and Arthur G. Neal National Trauma & Collective Memory (1998).

In this article, four recent public diplomacy activities are analyzed from a trust-building perspective: Iranian President Hassan Rouhani's letter in The Washington Post, The British Council's strategy for trust building in China, Russian President Vladimir V. Putin's letter in The New York Times, and the USA's trust-building effort in Turkey. The analyses are based on already publicized descriptions of public diplomacy activities, public polls, and scholarly literature. Public diplomacy ideas discussed include lightshow, hand-on cooperation, win-win projects, and the creation of frameworks for self-expression. A central concept is international trust as described by Brewer, Gross, Aday, and Willnat. Based on the analysis it is suggested to amend the concept, to distingu...

This study argues economic interests of media owners are enhanced by supporting the journalistic call for freedom, particularly through improvements in the productivity, creativity and reliability of media products. Building on existing research and theory from different academic traditions, the author analyzes the basic conflict between journalistic values and business goals.

different approach to activities that aim at legitimacy alone. A case study of a suspended Chinese
hydropower project (i.e., the Myitsone Dam) in northern Myanmar is presented to address the
functional differences and their implications for corporate practice. In particular, it illustrates how
public resistance can prevent the success of direct foreign investments despite favorable agreements
with host governments; also, it shows that corporate public diplomacy can be used to develop
sustainable win-win solutions supported by the general public. While existing research suggests that
an important function of public relations is to create a perception of legitimacy and that the hope of
economic and commercial public diplomacy is to create a perception of attractiveness among the
public in foreign countries, this paper suggests that the concept of corporate public diplomacy – that
is, collaboration with the general public in a host country through negotiations directly with civic
society – should be considered a supplement to other forms of corporate diplomacy.
The thesis takes seriously the current anger expressed by people who do not belong to the welleducated elite and insist on being taken seriously. States invented diplomacy, partly to avoid costly wars, and in a global world, where the largest transnational corporations are as powerful in terms of economic resources and as influential as most states, this thesis argues that corporations can learn from state diplomacy when they strive to create reliable working environments and avoid costly (violent) conflicts with local host communities. The idea is discussed in the light of two cases: Exxon-Mobile in Aceh and China Power Investment Corporation in Kachin.
Corporate public diplomacy is an alternative approach to firms dealing with local host communities. The more traditional methods are to use hard power and the legal system to enforce corporate rights and/or to apply pity-based CSR.
The thesis contributes to current research with the idea of corporate public diplomacy and how it differs from state public diplomacy. Using an international relations framework as an organizing tool, it points to two approaches to state public diplomacy and three approaches to corporate public diplomacy. There are many legitimacy issues related to corporate diplomacy, and some of them are discussed in one of the five published articles included.
Three other articles relate to trust research. The thesis contributes with a suggestion as to how state public diplomacy can be linked to international trust; how trust relates to norms and crisis; how forms of trust develop over time during a conflict, and how some people – including leaders – may seek advice from an inner knowing that I have termed spiritual trust.
Finally, for the scholars wanting to engage in corporate public diplomacy research, a list of ideas is included as inspiration.
