US Public Diplomacy Strategies in Latin America During the Sixties
This book seeks to address US public diplomacy strategies in Latin America, of particular importance during the 1960s when the leadership of the United States had been questioned after the Cuban Revolution. The implicit mandate was "No more Cubas" so that what happened in the Caribbean country would not spread to other countries. The actions of the United States toward its southern neighbors in the first half of the twentieth century are quite well known. In contrast, Latin American scenarios of the Cultural Cold War have remained relatively less well known. The contributors and editors of this volume examine various facets and means of action used by the "US machinery of persuasion" with th...
Memories of the Second World War in Neutral Europe, 1945–2023
This edited volume is a sequel to, and a development of, The Long Aftermath: Cultural Legacies of Europe at War, 1936-2016 (2016). It focuses on the six major European countries and states that remained officially neutral throughout the Second World War, namely Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the Vatican. Its transnational, comparative and interdisciplinary approach addresses complex questions pertaining to collective remembrance, national policies and politics, and intellectual as well as cultural responses to neutrality during and after the conflict. The contributions are from a broad range of scholars working across the disciplines of history, literature, film, media, a...
Americans in a World at War
A vivid narrative of an ill-fated Pan American flight during World War II that captures the dramatic backstories of its passengers and, through them, the impact of Americans' global connections. On February 21, 1943, Pan American Airways' celebrated seaplane, the Yankee Clipper, took off from New York's Marine Air Terminal and island-hopped its way across the Atlantic Ocean. Arriving at Lisbon the following evening, it crashed in the Tagus River, killing twenty-four of its thirty-nine passengers and crew. Americans in a World at War traces the backstories of seven worldly Americans aboard that plane, their personal histories, their politics, and the paths that led them toward war. Combat sol...
Shaping Neutrality Throughout the First World War
The neutral status in the Great War turned out to be a transformative reality as the conflict itself, acquiring top political importance from its origins. As shown by most of the compiled works in this book, the dilemma between neutrality and belligerency shaped national self-identities and collective emotions long after the war ended.

Attitudes to war
The Swiss Sonderbund War, the German colonial wars, the First World War up until denazification and re-education after the Second World War - these and other themes are the topics of the contributions to this volume. They are all concerned with war experiences and attitudes to war as dealt with in literature and film. They thereby focus on authors and directors such as Shakespeare and his contemporaries, Adda Freifrau von Liliencron, Georg Kaiser, Fritz Lang, but also almost forgotten bestseller authors, such as Heinrich Wandt, who take a critical stance on war. The contributions are supplemented by critiques of pertinent new publications and a bibliography of studies from the disciplines of literature, linguistics, history and cinematographical and art studies from the year 2008.

Estrategias de diplomacia cultural en un mundo interpolar
La revolución de los trasportes y de los medios de comunicación experimentada desde mediados del siglo pasado ha producido un empequeñecimiento del planeta. Una aldea global, interconectada como nunca antes en la historia. Por ello, los distintos actores del tablero internacional se han visto abocados a prestar más atención a cuidar su imagen entre las opiniones públicas extranjeras. Este libro explica distintas estrategias de diplomacia cultural (promoción del sistema socio-político, de la lengua, de las artes propias en el exterior; intercambios educativos, etc.) desplegadas por varios países más allá de sus fronteras, con el objetivo de contribuir, mediante esa vía de poder blando, a la consecución de sus prioridades geoestratégicas. El volumen reúne a especialistas que analizan los casos en Estados Unidos, Unión Soviética-Rusia, Japón, China y la Unión Europea; y está orientado a especialistas en Educación Internacional, responsables de las acciones educativas de España en el exterior.
