The New Diplomacy: Devising A Relational Model Of Public Diplomacy, Anne E. Buckle
The New Diplomacy: Devising A Relational Model Of Public Diplomacy, Anne E. Buckle
Pursuit - The Journal of Undergraduate Research at The University of Tennessee
Public diplomacy, an open form of international politics, is essential for building state relations and improving the American image in current times, particularly in light of the recent leakage of some 250,000 classified State Department cables. The ways embassy officials conduct diplomacy must be more candid if they are to gain trust from local populations. Contemporary technology and new media have drastically modified the ways states conduct foreign policy, and embassies must cater to this environment by reaching out to mass publics using novel approaches. Additionally, a new kind of public diplomacy is emerging, one involving private sector networks. In …
Local Government Relations In Knox County Executive Collaboration And Its Impact, J. Ryan Sowell
Local Government Relations In Knox County Executive Collaboration And Its Impact, J. Ryan Sowell
Pursuit - The Journal of Undergraduate Research at The University of Tennessee
The recent governmental history of Knoxville and Knox County represents an intriguing case study of interest-group-led referendums, corruption, and reform. Recent structural reforms were a direct response to the unethical behavior displayed by some members of the Knox County Commission, but indirectly the changes attempted to address a number of lingering community issues. When placed in the context of the community’s contemporary political history, the reforms' significance becomes apparent. In the past twenty years the greater Knoxville community experienced intergovernmental court battles, a failed unification referendum, a sheriff with unprecedented political clout, and state legislative intervention. Executive leadership has had …

Umuganda: The Ultimate Nation-Building Project?, Jaclyn Barnhart
Pursuit - The Journal of Undergraduate Research at The University of Tennessee
This research and presentation thereof considers the ritual umuganda in terms of its contribution to national identity. In doing so, I consider the history of the ritual, its transformation in purpose over time, and the accompanying sociological consequences of such purposes and transformations. The evidence in this case includes sociological analyses of the umuganda ritual itself; political speeches which underscore the type of popular mobilization contemporaneously undertaken and/or accomplished and its purpose for such; recent media articles relating to umuganda (written by both citizens and outsiders and by both those with affirmative and negative opinions concerning umuganda’s contribution to the …

Tennessee And China: The Challenges And Opportunities Of A Growing Trade Relationship, Georgia Varlan
Pursuit - The Journal of Undergraduate Research at The University of Tennessee
In 2007, the state of Tennessee opened a trade office in Beijing to facilitate increased trade and investment between Tennessee and China, which has already grown by over 1,000 percent in the past five years. This paper begins by tracing a brief history of U.S.-China trade and economic relations, focusing on the period from the 1978 economic reforms to the present, as well as looking at some of the issues affecting U.S.-based entities exporting to China. Tennessee’s trade relationship with China is analyzed within this context, focusing on Tennessee exports to China and using both state trade data and case …
