Selected AbstractsThe (Real)politiks of Culture: U.S. Cultural Diplomacy in Unesco, 1946,1954*DIPLOMATIC HISTORY, Issue 2 2006S. E. Graham First page of article [source] The Logic of Soviet Cultural DiplomacyDIPLOMATIC HISTORY, Issue 2 2003Davies, Nigel Gould First page of article [source] Design Pedagogy Enters the Cold WarJOURNAL OF ARCHITECTURAL EDUCATION, Issue 4 2004The Reeducation of Eleven West German Architects During the Cold War, the United States and USSR used educational exchange programs as instruments of cultural diplomacy. In 1950, East German reconstruction policy was radically transformed through a well-documented Soviet-sponsored reorientation of architects and planners from East Berlin. This article chronicles a concurrent but little-known exchange, sponsored by the U.S. High Commissioner for Germany, which sent West German architects to America for professional retraining. Although the U.S. program fell far short of its intentions, it illuminates the nature of Cold War cultural strategies deploying urban planning pedagogy, which were meant to reproduce American values and systems of governance abroad. [source] The New Public Diplomacy: Britain and Canada Compared1BRITISH JOURNAL OF POLITICS & INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS, Issue 2 2004Rhiannon Vickers This article examines the ways in which diplomacy is adapting in the information age, to the increased pressures and opportunities that changes in information and communication technologies and capabilities provide. The interaction of technological, economic, political and social changes, such as globalisation, the development and rapid expansion of information and communication technologies, the increasing ability of citizens and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to access and use these technologies, and the rise of transnational and co-operative security issues, are affecting the ways in which governments conduct their diplomacy. These changes are giving rise to what might be termed a ,new public diplomacy'. This can be characterised by a blurring of traditional distinctions between international and domestic information activities, between public and traditional diplomacy and between cultural diplomacy, marketing and news management. The article focuses on a comparison of Britain and Canada. It argues that, in Britain, the new public diplomacy features a repackaging of diplomacy to project a particular image to an overseas audience, which is largely treated as a passive recipient of diplomacy. However, in Canada the new public diplomacy is characterised by a more inclusive approach to diplomacy, enabling citizen groups and NGOs to play a greater role in international affairs.
