Celebrity Diplomacy: Drew Barrymore, Reese Witherspoon, Bono and Bill Gates
The New York Times Magazine recently published
“
The Celebrity Solution”, an article
detailing how more and more celebrities are using their star power
to engage the public on international issues.
Drew Barrymore is helping to fight hunger
while
Reese Witherspoon fights violence against
women. More and more celebrities are getting involved in global
advocacy. For more, come see Andrew Cooper’s lecture at CIGI
on March 18 on “Celebrity Diplomacy”. Dr. Cooper, CIGI
Distinguished Fellow and Associate Director, explores the shift
from traditional diplomacy by professionally trained civil servants
to a new form of advocacy by famous entertainers and entrepreneurs
- such as Bono and Bill Gates - with no formal background in global
affairs. For more information, see the posting
