本文将探讨名人外交的意义。特别是，它将讨论这种现象是如何从以国家为中心的外交举措到公共形式的转变中出现的。这导致了一场关于在国际政治事务中可信地使用名人形式的激进主义的辩论。为了分析这一现象，本文将重点讨论联合国亲善大使和和平使者方案的作用和影响。他指的是安德鲁·F。库珀的“名人外交”的概念作为一种替代形式的机构，并采用约翰街的“名人表演”的框架，以确定联合国如何利用明星提请注意其活动。这些例子表明，名人外交家如何为成为国际外交领域不可或缺的事业提供关注。
This article will examine the meaning of celebrity diplomacy. In particular, it will discuss how this phenomenon has emerged from a transition between state-centric to public forms of diplomatic initiatives. This has led to a debate about the credible use of celebrity forms of activism in international political affairs. To analyse this phenomenon, this article will focus on the role and impact of the United Nations' (UN) Goodwill Ambassadors and Messengers of Peace programmes. It refers to Andrew F. Cooper's concept of ‘celebrity diplomacy’ as an alternative form of agency and employs John Street's framework of ‘celebrity performance’ to define how the UN has utilised stars to draw attention to its activities. These examples demonstrate how celebrity diplomats provide focus for causes to become integral in the sphere of international diplomacy.
