ARI (Analisis of the Real Instituto Elcano) : Spain's International Image & Public Opinion
Public Diplomacy and the Blair Effect (ARI) ARI 111/2005 - 7.9.2005 Philip Fiske de Gouveia Tony Blair has a significant impact on the way Britain and modern Britons are perceived. This, in turn, has important implications for foreign relations, tourism and inward investment.
Europe’s image ARI 17/2005 (Translated from Spanish) - 3.2.2005 Javier Noya It is well known that Europe has ‘internal’ communication difficulties. The EU does not have a ‘face’, a figurehead or political symbol that unequivocally identifies it. If this is true within the EU itself, then what about elsewhere? Europe is the ‘metrosexual’ superpower, which has renounced military and aggressive supremacy as embodied by the US. This stereotype, which was already part of Europe’s self-image as a ‘civilian power’ in the 60s, has returned to the fore. As Europeans, we think that our continent may have been strengthened by the US’s image crisis. But is this the case? How is Europe perceived outside its own borders and those of the United States?
