This paper discusses the concept of Public Diplomacy and the effectiveness of a specific Public
Diplomacy tool: Scholar Exchanges as a tool of Public Diplomacy. The foreign Fulbright Program of
the United States Government is introduced as a case study and for further interpreting the perceptions
of the program, a survey is ran among 59 current grantees. Scholar exchanges programs are suggested
to be implemented in order to overcome the barriers in communication processes in the international
arena
