This index is only one piece to the puzzle and could definitely be used to influence policy makers in the near future. The subjective framework of this approach could be better improved if there were more categories available to measure public diplomacy. The index does not adequately give room to showcase public diplomacy efforts that may not be as popular, but are just as effective. Thanks for challenging this notion and giving us all more to think about. By the way, I like the quarterback example. I personally like Tim Tebow, but others would argue that he’s not a great quarterback based on the measurements you indicated. His ability as a quarterback cannot be measured by a few indicators, but room must also be made to talk about his leadership and work- ethic.
