"Great Expectations and Postwar Realities is an examination of the practice variously
referred to as 'cultural diplomacy, ' 'self-advertisement, ' 'image cultivation, '
'image projection, ' 'public relations, ' 'soft power, ' 'nation-branding, ' 'perception
management, ' 'national reputation management, ' and, most recently, 'public diplomacy.'
By investigating the intersection of diplomacy, national identity construction, and
cultural production, my study evaluates the promises and limitations of interwar Hungarian
cultural diplomacy. It asks two questions: What was the value of such practices when
employed by a state that lacked material and non-material power? In which ways did
the country's cultural-diplomatic endeavors contribute to its postwar nation-building
project? In posing these questions, Great Expectations and Postwar Realities, while
rooted in Hungary, examines larger themes such as the nature of interwar international
relations and the complexities of national identity construction. Hungarian cultural
diplomacy had a great impact, if for different reasons than historians have often
thought. For while cultural diplomacy helps us to understand the ways in which small
states exploited the gaps in the international system, its most enduring achievements
are connected with domestic development"--Introduction
