Throughout the twentieth century governments came to increasingly
appreciate the value of soft power to help them achieve their
foreign policy ambitions. Covering the crucial period between 1936
and 1953, this book examines the U.S. government's adoption of
diplomatic programs that were designed to persuade, inform, and
attract global public opinion in support of American national
interests. Cultural diplomacy and international information were
deeply controversial to an American public that been bombarded with
propaganda during the First World War. This book explains how new
notions of propaganda as reciprocal exchange, cultural engagement,
and enlightening information paved the way for innovations in U.S.
diplomatic practice. Through a comparative analysis of the State
Department's Division of Cultural Relations, the government radio
station Voice of America, and the multilateral cultural,
educational and scientific diplomacy of Unesco, and drawing
extensively on U.S. foreign policy archives, this book shows how
America's liberal traditions were reconciled with the task of
influencing and attracting publics abroad.
