Abstract
This is a special issue of Design and Culture journal, co-edited by Dr Harriet Atkinson and Dr Verity Clarkson. The introduction argues for an expanded understanding of design’s role in diplomacy since 1945, looking beyond “soft power” or “cultural diplomacy” to designers’ potential to shape government systems and provision and to play a wider role in transnational diplomatic exchanges. The papers gathered in this volume explore diplomacy through the work of philanthropic foundations, design networks, sites of art and design education, as well as manufacturers and retailers of furniture and product design and craft producers.
