Inter-Ministerial Co-operation in the Work of the Cultural Attachés Appearing in The Hague Journal of Diplomacy Publication Date 2021-07-15 Place of Publication Online Publisher The Hague Journal of Diplomacy Start page 1 End page 26 Language eng Abstract To date, the role of cultural attachés in foreign policy has not been the subject of scholarly research, despite the sharp rise in interest in the field of cultural diplomacy. The present study is a comparative analysis seeking to map the ecosystem in which cultural attachés are embedded with the aim to develop a first-time narrative about their role. Interviews with practitioners from Italy, The Netherlands and Sweden indicate that the post of the cultural attaché is a field of responsibility primarily for two state actors. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Culture both have a vested interest in the work of these cultural operators. The findings suggest that there are two distinct organisational models in how Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Ministries of Culture co-exist and interact. Keyword cultural diplomacy
