Recent studies on the meaning of cultural diplomacy in the
twentieth century often focus on the United States and the Cold
War, based on the premise that cultural diplomacy was a key
instrument of foreign policy in the nation's effort to contain the
Soviet Union. As a result, the term "cultural diplomacy" has become
one-dimensional, linked to political manipulation and subordination
and relegated to the margin of diplomatic interactions. This volume
explores the significance of cultural diplomacy in regions other
than the United States or "western" countries, that is, regions
that have been neglected by scholars so far-Eastern Europe, Asia,
and the Middle East. By examining cultural diplomacy in these
regions, the contributors show that the function of information and
exchange programs differs considerably from area to area depending
on historical circumstances and, even more importantly, on the
cultural mindsets of the individuals involved.
