This research aims to achieve an analytical study on the experience of Bahraini women in the international public relations and protocol sector. The research raises several questions regarding the experience of Bahraini women in this field and the opportunities and challenges facing the work of Bahraini women. This study uses both qualitative and quantitative approaches in analyzing the experience of Bahraini women in the international public relations and protocol sector, an area that has not been addressed in previous research. This research aims to fill the gap in the Arab Gulf research by analyzing the experience of Bahraini women in the international public relations and protocol sector through distributing a questionnaire to a purposive sample consisting of 100 male and female workers in the departments of international public relations and protocol with a response rate of 53%.  In addition, the researcher conducted open interviews with a purposeful sample of 12 female employees in senior and middle management positions in international public relations departments and ceremonies in government institutions in the Kingdom of Bahrain using the snowball sample. The research finds that 50% of the respondents indicated that there are no clear roles for women's work in the protocol sector in Bahrain, and 26% of respondents said that they do not know. Besides, 62.3% of respondents considered the importance of combining practical skills and academic qualifications when working in the protocol sector. Moreover, 25.5% of the respondents believe that Bahraini culture has an impact on the work of Bahraini women in the protocol sector, while 33.3% of the respondents believe that Bahraini culture has some impact on the work of Bahraini women in the protocol sector. While 79.2% of the respondents believe that there is no difference between women and men in the opportunities they have achieved in the international public relations and protocol sector, and 70.7% of the respondents believe that gender has not affected the challenges facing the workers in the protocol sector. Furthermore, the study found that Bahraini women have promising opportunities to develop their work in the international public relations and protocol sector because of the great support women receive from the Supreme Council for Women, led by Her Royal Highness Princess Sheikha Sabeeka bint Ibrahim Al Khalifa, the wife of the King of Bahrain, and the high percentage of women education and specialization in communication and media sciences. The study highlighted the major societal, institutional and personal challenges facing Bahraini women in the international public relations and protocol departments. The study recommends strengthening the role of institutions and media in promoting a new community culture that emphasizes the growing role of women in international public relations and ceremonies, in addition to encouraging and supporting research in this sector.

This study targets to investigate the impact of Inter-Services of Public Relations (ISPR) production, broadcasted during the war against terrorism, on Pakistani youth. It is hypothesized that ISPR productions have helped in inflating the motivation level of Pakistani youth, thus helping in promoting the nationalism and positive image of Pakistan. Furthermore, the role of ISPR productions in motivating youth to join Pakistan's Army is also explored. A cross-sectional survey research design was used. The sample of this study was comprised of youth aged between 18 to 24 years, selected through the non-probability purposive sample. The measures comprised of a self-constructed indigenous questionnaire assessing the impact of ISPR productions during a military operation in image building, promotion of nationalism and motivation to join the army. The data analyzed through SPSS Version 22.00 yielded insightful findings. The finding revealed that watching ISPR productions helped in instilling a fervent attitude of Pakistani youth towards nationalism and the Pakistani military. There had been a clearer inclination of youth to aspire for joining the military for upholding the nationalism beliefs, and this finding appears promising, keeping in mind the relative declining opinion that has been observed in youth from the past decade pertaining to nationalism and military operations.

The article analyses the current situation in Estonia and Lithuania in the context of the position of both states and their public relations strategy and image since 1991, as well as the role of national minorities in this process. The authors emphasize that even though Estonia and Lithuania tend to be treated as very similar state organisms, they chose different ways of building their legal and democratic structures. Despite many similarities between the two states, such as location, size, small population, common historical background and, above all, ethnic divisions, one should pay attention to successful attempts to strengthen the statehood of Estonia and Lithuania.
