Cesar Corona and International Expositions

From the Cesar Corona InternationalExpositions.org website

I've just come across Cesar Corona's website on International Expositions, at http://www.internationalexpositions.org/ and am impressed with this scholar's achievements and credentials.

A World Expositions buff with considerable work experience at World Expositions - Lisbon 98, Hannover 2000, and Shanghai (for the University of Southern California's Centre for Public Diplomacy), Cesar is at present a Master of Public Diplomacy candidate at the USC, ostensibly doing research on the link between World Expositions and Public Diplomacy.

This is an area of research that is extremely important, yet is undervalued not extensively covered.

His work into this field, coupled with his practical experience of working at World Expositions is greatly welcomed.

His undergraduate thesis - "Public Diplomacy in International Expositions: Mexico and Canada in Expo 2005 Aichi" is actually quite close to an Honours thesis I proposed to do at the University of Queensland in 2008 - on "Australia and Japan at Expo 70 and Expo 88", and is available online as a PDF at http://132.248.9.9:8080/tesdig2/Procesados_tesis_2008/octubre/0633095/0633095_A1.pdf  and I'll look forward to reading this thesis, if not from a view point that it may give me further ideas as to what is possible in this relatively new field.

I hope to make contact with Cesar and learn more about his research.
