Beyond Hollywood and the Boardroom: Celebrity Diplomacy
Cooper, Andrew F.
Georgetown Journal of International Affairs, Summer 2007, v8, #2, pp125-133

"The ability of personalities such as Bono, Angelina Jolie, and Bill Gates to gain access to world leaders is becoming increasingly recognized if not fully understood by the international affairs community. Here, Cooper discusses the impact of celebrity activism in determining policies and shaping the agenda on a range of global humanitarian issues."

Cooper is associate director and distinguished fellow at the Center for International Governance Innovation.
