Cultural Diplomacy’s Challenges: Rethinking Them Through Knowledge Brokering
This article examines why cultural diplomacy (CD) encounters operational, contextual, and relational challenges including resource misalignment, cultural difference, bureaucratic constraint, and limited mobility, and identifies gaps in knowledge flows across national, institutional, and organizational boundaries as a central mechanism. We develop a knowledge-brokering (KB) informed framework and apply thematic analysis to purposively sampled inte…

Towards a sustainable cultural diplomacy
This paper explores the relationship between cultural diplomacy and sustainability in the context of Western Europe. The study examines various stakeholders at different levels: from the United Nations that issued Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015, to national entities in charge of cultural diplomacy, and regional and local arts organisations that undertake and support a variety of international cultural policies. Given the significanc…
Soft Power beyond the Nation
Le cinéma n’est que la fiente de la culture’: Negotiating the position and content of French culture in postwar Britain
In the early 1950s French diplomats pondered over how much space to grant to forms of popular culture within French cultural diplomacy in Britain, which had largely relied on academic culture over the previous decades. The debate over what forms of culture were suitable for a British audience intensified over the role that should be given to cinema. This article argues that the democratization of cultural diplomacy in the postwar period did not f…

‘French lady seeks … ’: Finding work as a French governess in late Victorian and Edwardian England (1870–1914)
While the presence of thousands of French governesses in Britain at any given time between 1870 and 1914 is well-known, and despite the significant scholarly literature examining governesses as well as cross-Channel grassroots exchanges in the Late-Victorian and Edwardian periods, little is known about the realities of these women’s lives. They remain largely invisibilised by stereotypes of sensuousness—if not deviancy—constructed by contemporary…

Resilience and adaptation of the UK’s arts sector during the process of the UK’s withdrawal from the EU
Since the UK joined the European Economic Community (EEC) in 1973, the European Union (EU) and the former EEC (incorporated in the EU in 1993) have been vital organs of solidarity and investment for the cultural system of the UK. The UK’s arts sector has also benefitted from the single-market and visa-free work and travel. However, the UK’s withdrawal from the EU means that the country, and its arts and creative sector, must adapt to a new contex…
Women, Gender and the Professionalisation of French Cultural Diplomacy in Britain, 1900–1940
This article traces the evolution of French cultural diplomacy in Britain from the early twentieth century to the end of the inter-war period; it argues that this field of international relations could not have developed at this time without the intervention of a handful of determined women who undertook activities outside official diplomatic circles. In the first decades of the twentieth century, these women designed cultural strategies and ran …
Restoring the Image of France in Britain, 1944–1947
At the end of the Second World War, British society's hostility and resentment towards France's military defeat and the French state's collaboration with Germany were strong. In order to deflate this enmity and thus prepare the ground to forge western European co-operation, the French and British governments co-operated and developed gendered public and media strategies within which citizens, and, in particular, former female resistance fighters,…
The Exiles: Actors, Artists and Writers Who Fled the Nazis for London . By Daria Santini
As recent histories of modern Britain have been increasingly focusing on the contributions and impact of foreign-born actors on wider society, Daria Santini’s book on German and Austrian exiles in Britain of the mid-1930s is entirely timely. Beyond said contribution to the current internationalizing of British history, Santini also builds upon two large areas of focus: firstly that on literary and artistic exiles from Central and Eastern Europe w…
Transnational Cultural Propaganda
The Second World War challenged the well-established circulation of cultural practices between France and Britain. But it also gave individuals, communities, states, and aspiring governments opportunities to invent new forms of international cultural promotion that straddled the national boundaries that the war had disrupted. Although London became the capital city of the main external Resistance movement Free France, the latter struggled to esta…
Introduction – Beyond de Gaulle and beyond London: The French external resistance and its international networks
The aim of this special issue is to explore the history of the French external Resistance through its international networks. This introduction argues that we should think about the ‘Resistance’ as an international phenomenon, played out in a number of sites across the world, both within and beyond the Free French capital cities of London, Brazzaville – which declared its adhesion to Free France on 28 August 1940 – and (later) Algiers. Our study …
From Gaullism to Anti-Gaullism: Denis Saurat and the French Cultural Institute in Wartime London
This article explores the case of the French cultural institute in London which found itself at the nexus of Gaullist as well as anti-Gaullist networks during the Second World War. By analysing the support that the institute’s director, Denis Saurat, brought to Charles de Gaulle in the early days of Free France, the article contributes to our understanding of the formation of Free French political thought. This study analyses Saurat’s shifting po…
Cultural Diplomacy and International Cultural Relations in Twentieth-Century Europe
In a 2004 review essay on transnational history published in the pages of this journal, Akira Iriye discussed the ‘internationalisation of scholarship’ and concluded that ‘historians easily cross oceans and traverse national boundaries’. The books under review here offer a striking example of this internationalisation, not only in their geographical remit but equally in the transnational interests and collaboration of their authors. Three of them…
