Tito allowed the US Information Agency and the State Department's cultural programmes to enter Yugoslavia, liberated from Soviet control. The exchange of intellectual and political personnel helped foster the US-Yugoslav relationship, yet it posed severe ideological challenges for both sides. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBy providing new insights into porous borders between freedom and coercion in Tito's regime, this book shows how public diplomacy acted as an external input for Yugoslav liberalisation and dissident movements. Using extensive archival research and interviews, Konta analyses the links between information and propaganda, and the unintended effects of propaganda beyond the control of producers and receivers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carla Konta\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526182432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526182432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/26\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.47d","brand":"Carla Konta","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48445293297919,"sku":"9781526182432","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f1066314-60fe-4060-8c29-41a52a5b7c98.jpg?v=1777217758","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/us-public-diplomacy-in-socialist-carla-konta-9781526182432","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
