Nation Branding

Nation Branding is a field of theory and practice which aims to measure, build and manage the reputation of countries (closely related to place branding). It applies some approaches from commercial brand management practice to countries, in an effort to build, change, or protect their international reputations. It is based on the observation that the "brand images" of countries are just as important to their success in the global marketplace as those of products and services.

Nation branding appears to be practised by many states, including the United States and United Kingdom (where it is officially referred to as Public Diplomacy), South Africa, New Zealand, and most Western European countries. There is increasing interest in the concept from poorer states on the grounds that an enhanced image might create more favorable conditions for foreign direct investment, tourism, trade and even political relations with other states.
