The Eisenhower administration and public diplomacy in India: an ambivalent engagement, 1953-1960/ Sarah Ellen Graham

By: Material type: TextTextPublication details: 2014Subject(s): In: Diplomacy & Statecraft Vol 25 No 2, June 2014, pp.260-284 (115) Summary: The United States- India relationship was fraught with misapprehension and ideological disagreement during the 1950s. Public diplomacy provides a valuable context for examining these dynamics. This analysis assesses the planning, deployment and reception of American public diplomacy to India under President Dwight Eisenhower, a period encompassing Washington's 1954 alliance with Pakistan and economic aid to India in 1957-1958. Public diplomacy reflects the Administration's difficulty in clarifying its interests in India. The rhetorical and moralising approach of India's leadership and their prominence in the global non-aligned movement contributed greatly to this ambivalence.
