Education Policies as a Tool of Soft Power: Alliance Française and Yunus Emre Institute

Abstract

The cultural diplomacy is an application of public diplomacy. It is used as an effective tool of soft power. A developing state depends on various political and economic factors, but also on public diplomacy; namely cultural diplomacy that state pursues in foreign policy. Considering that the education is a part of cultural diplomacy, we can suppose that education policy is an effective tool of soft power. It should be noted that there is an inevitable relationship between “education policy” and “soft power”, differing from state to state. In this context, it is important to examine the education policies of cultural institutions that state operate abroad. That is why, the present study analyzes the education policies of Alliance française and those of Yunus Emre Institute in the context of soft power. These educational institutions will be compared, and a special attention will be given to education policies that states develop in their cultural diplomacy.
