Summary
Drawing on the empirical detail presented in the previous chapters, I bring together the theoretical and policy implications of this study in Chapter 5. In the first part of this chapter, I offer a brief summary of my research findings, and then develop some generalizations on the life-cycles of narratives. In the second section of this chapter, I develop guidelines that may assist practitioners in building effective narratives as vital instruments of public policy and diplomacy.
