La Cooperación Cultural como herramienta de Diplomacia Cultural. Estudio de caso: Secretaría GeneraL Iberoamericana (SEGIB), 2005-2012

Abstract

The interest of this case study is to evaluate Cultural Cooperation as a tool of Cultural Diplomacy within the Iberoamerican General Secretary (SEGIB) during the years 2005-2012. In this study, it is shown how Cultural Cooperation is a source that promotes Cultural Diplomacy and as a consequence it could be interpreted as a expression of Cultural Diplomacy through its execution and the role that it plays in each of SEGIB’s “IBER” programs. Finally, an analysis and explanation is given to demonstrate if Cultural Cooperation is a suitable mechanism to empower the Iberoamerican Cooperative System.
