Le succès culturel de la Corée du Sud est une preuve : la culture n'est plus un domaine exclusif des puissances traditionnelles dans la conquête d'influence. Elle constitue également un moyen que les pays émergents et en développement utilisent pour atteindre leurs objectifs. Pour évaluer ces diplomaties culturelles, l'Institute for Cultural Diplomacy (ICD) et Nation Brand Index (NBI) ont proposé des paramètres qualitatifs et quantitatifs. Le Vietnam déploie cette politique au service de son développement socio-économique. Il se sert également de sa participation dans des organisations internationales dont l'Organisation internationale de la Francophonie comme levier de sa diplomatie culturelle.

Geneva is the symbol of a continuing placing between the possible and the desirable. To tend towards a pacified world is its objective. Before reaching this objective, would it be necessary to legislate the rules of warfare, in other words: to "humanize" warfare? The fact that the seat of oldest and most important humanitarian organization, the International Committee of the Red Cross, is located at avenue de la paix (Peace Street), is a symbol and a response regarding the attempt to conciliate between two complementary policies: searching for peace, and the regulation/humanization of armed conflicts. The article studies two contradictory ideas, constructed in parallel starting at the age of Enlightenment: 1) pacification through law and the creation of international organizations, and 2) humanization of the war, and examines their development around the two world wars, with the construction of the United Nations and its strategic center in Geneva, the base of numerous international conferences relating to disarmament and the ending of conflicts. As for humanitarian actions, they have become a means of peace strategy with increasing integration into Chapter VII of the UN Chart. Symbolically, Geneva is the place where the focus on these two ideals is of its highest level; peace and humanitarian action, sometimes contradictory, sometimes complementary, the balance of which at last seems to tend toward the latter, thus given reason to Henry Dunant.
