Nation Branding at the Shanghai Expo
Prof. Jay Wang of the USC Center on Public Diplomacy and the USC US-China Institute is carrying out research on nation branding efforts at Expo 2010.
June 25, 2010
A research team led by Jian (Jay) Wang of the USC Annenberg School of Communication and Journalism is in Shanghai studying how countries define, communicate and manage their identity and image through national pavilions at the Expo.
Weekly video blogs highlighting select countries and their pavilions will be produced from June through August 2010. Countries are selected based on their geography, roles in global society and relationships with China. Each video will feature a country's pavilion, and will typically include interviews with pavilion directors or officials.
Below are videos focusing on the USA Pavilion. You can view videos about other National Pavilions from the USC Center For Public Diplomacy here.
