The Cold War  changed all this. Soon there were US bases on Spanish territory and a political  conjuring trick was under way. This volume examines the public diplomacy  strategies that the US government employed to accomplish an almost impossible  mission: to keep a warm relationship with a tyrant without drifting apart from  his opponents, and to somehow pave the way for a transition to democracy. The  book's focus on the perspective of soft power breaks new ground in understanding  US-Spanish relations. In so doing, it offers valuable lessons for understanding  how public diplomacy has functioned in the past and can function today and  tomorrow in transitions to democracy. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2015-09-02\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137461445\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/9781137461452\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 216.0cm x140.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 237.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45383548174476,"sku":"9781137461445","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137461445.jpg?v=1765511842","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781137461445","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
