| Sumario: | "Public diplomacy - the uncertain art of winning public support abroad for one's government and its foreign policy - constitutes a critical instrument of U.S. policy in the wake of the Bush administration's recent military interventions and its renunciation of widely accepted international accords. Wilson Dizard, Jr. offers the first comprehensive account of public diplomacy's evolution within the U.S. foreign policy establishment, ranging from World War II to the present." "Dizard focuses on the U.S. Information Agency and its precursor, the Office of War Information. Tracing the political ups and downs determining the agency's trajectory, he highlights its instrumental role in creating the policies and programs underpinning today's public diplomacy, as well as the people involved. The USIA was shut down in 1999, but it left an important legacy of what works - and what doesn't - in presenting U.S. policies and values to the rest of the world. Inventing Public Diplomacy is a history of U.S. efforts at organized international propaganda."--Jacket |
