According to the author Christopher Paul (RAND),Strategic Communication is the “coordinated actions, messages, images, and other forms of signaling or engagement intended to inform, influence, or persuade selected audiences in support of national objectives.” There is often debate and discussion concerning what makes strategic communication. Regarding definition, psychological operations, public or civil affairs, information operations and public diplomacy are seemingly the least contested components of U.S. strategic communication. With those components, the most important factor that separates strategic communication from other types of communication is the synchronization and coordination of U.S. efforts. For example, in the ''National Strategy for Public Diplomacy and Strategic Communication'', all strategic communication efforts activities should:〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/state/natstrat_strat_comm.pdf )〕 : *underscore our commitment to freedom, human rights and the dignity and equality of every human being; : *reach out to those who share our ideals; : *support those who struggle for freedom and democracy; and : *counter those who espouse ideologies of hate and oppression Strategic communication can be a major tool against adversaries that threaten values supported by the United States. U.S. strategic communication promotes democratization and good governance.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/state/natstrat_strat_comm.pdf )〕 It proved vital in winning the Cold War. In the 21st Century, it is critical in countering the radical ideologies of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Muslim Brotherhood, al- Qaeda and other extremist organizations.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www.hudson.org/files/publications/FeithShulsky--CounteringHostileIdeologiesSRF041812Web.pdf )〕 ==Official Definitions== Academics and professionals alike have yet to find consensus on a universal definition. As explained by Professor Dennis Murphy of the U.S. Army War College, “strategic communication is an emergent concept with several definitions floating about, no doctrinal base and a lexicon that fails completely to convey the desired understanding.” The uncertainty among professionals however, has not prevented some official definitions from being released. 2006 Quadrennial Defense Review Executive Roadmap for Strategic Communication “Focused United States Government processes and efforts to understand and engage key audiences to create, strengthen, or preserve conditions favorable to advance national interests and objectives through the use of coordinated information, themes, plans, programs, and actions synchronized with other elements of national power.”〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www.defense.gov/pubs/pdfs/QDRRoadmap20060925a.pdf )〕 Department of Defense Dictionary of Military and Associate Terms’’ (12 August 2012) “Focused United States Government efforts to understand and engage key audiences to create, strengthen, or preserve conditions favorable for the advancement of United States Government interests, policies, and objectives through the use of coordinated programs, plans, themes, messages, and products synchronized with the actions of all instrument of national power.”〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www.dtic.mil/doctrine/new_pubs/jp1_02.pdf )〕 White House 2010 National Framework for Strategic Communication “Strategic communication(s) refers to (a) the synchronization of words and deeds and how they will be perceived by selected audiences, as well as (b) programs and activities deliberately aimed at communicating and engaging with intended audiences, including those implemented by public affairs, public diplomacy, and information operations professionals.”〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www.fas.org/man/eprint/pubdip.pdf )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「United States Strategic Communication」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
