In the early years of the Cold War, Western nations embraced a range of strategies in their public diplomacy efforts, one of which included the utilization of popular music. While the diplomatic use of popular music initially focused on genres like jazz, the second half of the 20th century witnessed a significant expansion of various popular genres in diplomatic contexts. These genres encompassed rock, pop, bluegrass, flamenco, funk, disco, and hip-hop, among others. This book aims to shed light on the intricate relationship between popular music and public diplomacy, taking a transnational and transdisciplinary approach. The contributions within this volume argue that popular music has played a pivotal role in international relations, exerting a profound impact on the global musical landscape of the 20th and 21st centuries.
