Resumen: Political entities use culture to support their soft power potential, to generate goodwill, to frame international agenda in particular ways, to erect and re-enact boundaries and/or to create societal linkages across them. While the importance of culture has been on the rise in the realm of foreign affairs, its role in this field remains one of the most under-studied aspects of state policy. In this book, a range of international experts take an unprecedented look at what role external cultural policy plays in foreign affairs. The book features historical case studies ranging from European 'civilizing' engagement with nineteenth-century China to uses of Abstract Expressionism as an instrument in the ideological struggles of the Cold War. Conceptual issues ranging from the dynamics of the 'Anglosphere' to the effects of what some term the 'culture of liberal democracy' are addressed. Current trends in the uses of culture in the EU's external relations both from the perspective of institutional developments, policies and practices in the EU and from the perspective of countries engaged by the EU's cultural policies are also discussed in greater detail. The systematic, theoretically informed and empirically supported analyses make this book an indispensable read for scholars and policy makers wishing to gain a new understanding of the role that culture plays in foreign affairs.

Editat per Jozef Bátora, de la Comenius University de Bratislava i Monika Mokre de la Austrian Academy of Sciences de Viena, els textos mostren les iniciatives que s’estan duent a terme a Europa per promoure la cultura en l’àmbit de les relacions internacionals i quins canvis i reptes cal afrontar. També s’hi inclouen reflexions teòriques i estudis de cas històrics. Els autors es plantegen, entre d’altres qüestions, quines són les polítiques culturals exteriors més adequades, quins han de ser els actors principals i les manifestacions culturals representades, o com s’han de contemplar les cultures minoritzades. Dues són les conclusions més destacades: cal incentivar l’exportació de bens culturals europeus per contribuir al creixement econòmic de la UE i dels estats membres, i s’ha de projectar una imatge comuna de la cultura europea.
