The following thesis, Branding national identity, authored
by Anamaria Georgescu and Andrei Botescu, attempts to develop a
multidisciplinary perspective on a particularly new topic raised
by marketing and advertising. Several theoreticians in the field
discern the matter as a strategy of “fighting globalisation with
its own weapons” (Simon Anholt, 2002). It promises to offer equal
opportunities for global back up to countries with a low level of
economic development. This is to be done by appealing and
emphasizing the cultural and national specific. This controversial
set of suggestions requires to be objectively debated using various
perspectives. Also, a practical extension of our debate is to
consider aspects of the scrutinized theoretical constructions, in
a particular example of a developing country: Romania. We brought
a new angle to the approaches of nation branding using sociological
theories and concepts like “the imagined communities” of
Benedict Anderson, “the interacting identities” or
“global networks in the Information Age” described by
Castells. We meant to examine the
concept of national identity, which represents the content of
such strategies. It has proven to be rather a field of disputes
than an unambiguous area for the contemporary sociology.
Therefore, the effort of finding a representative national
brand has to be the most difficult part in pursuing nation
branding strategies. Nevertheless, the idea of brand and
advertising influence, and particularly the persuasion
proficiency of the national brand, has generated a large
ethical debate. We developed our arguments examining
illustrative visions of different authors like Naomi Klein,
in No logo, and further related articles, which demonise the
brand’s sway. We also utilized Roland Barthes’s
Mythologies, analysing the national identity myth’s
culpability, and Simon Anholt’s book Brand new Justice: The
Upside of Global Branding, referring to the benefits of brands for
underdeveloped countries in a global economy. How to put things at
work or how to start and manage a nation branding campaign is
likely to find out researching past and ongoing programs. Thus,
we have investigated several branding agencies specialized in the
field. We offered illustrative examples in specific matters and
also we developed our own discussions related to the different
approaches and instruments of national identity communication.
The prospect of nation branding in a Romanian environment started
to be considered by different entities a complex stimulation of an
anarchic actual identity perspective. Thus, we considered to offer
an analytical perspective of the opinions, programs or ideas
exposed by different external or internal sources, using the
theoretical and empirical insights assembled throughout the
whole paper. Several key concepts utilized in our dissertation
are: national identity, globalisation, nation branding, holistic
approach, comprehensive brand, creative industries, and symbolic
communication.
