DEVS 100 Lecture Notes - Lecture 23: William Van Horn, Devs, Music Of Cuba
Document Summary
Devs 305: cuba was seen as an inspiration, they were doing things different and take a different approach to development. Cuba is a small country with a very large foreign policy: Because of its location in the cold war. Public diplomacy/soft power: the ways in which governments use aid, culture and media and exchange programs to influence the ways in which they are seen by citizens in other countries (people to people relations). Cuba is poor, not a large military, but they do a very good job at presenting and defending itself to the world: poorer countries are often better at soft power (citizen"s participatory aspect, not just government) Solidarity respects the other person, looking at each other from the perspective of equality and realizing you have a lot to learn from other people.
