British Information and Cultural Policy in Greece, 1943-1950 : Exercising Public Diplomacy in the Formative Early Cold War Years Paperback / softback
by Gioula Koutsopanagou
Part of the Byzantine and Neohellenic Studies series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book sheds new and revealing light on British cultural and information policies in Greece by unearthing previously unexamined or insufficiently examined primary sources.
These sources draw an intricate picture of a complex moment when, in the ruins of post-war southern Europe, British institutions, principally in this case the British Council and the BBC, sought to infiltrate and shape Greek society by promoting British political and social values.
As Cold War tensions became increasingly evident, the book shows how British information and cultural policy increasingly became embodied in a sustained anti-communist propaganda campaign.
As the civil war in Greece became an epicentre of the early Cold War, the successes and failures of British policy, and their impact on Greek society more generally, are scrutinized in detail.
