One of the most important elements of this campaign was a series of journals published around the world: \u003ci\u003eEncounter, Preuves, Quest, Mundo Nuevo\u003c\/i\u003e, and many others, involving many of the most famous intellectuals to promote a global intellectual community. Some of them, such as \u003ci\u003eMinerva \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eChina Quarterly\u003c\/i\u003e, are still going to this day. This study examines when and why these journals were founded, who ran them, and how we should understand their cultural message in relation to the secret patron that paid the bills.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Giles Scott-Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/03\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 331\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.81d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781137598660\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGiles Scott-Smith holds the Ernst van der Beugel Chair in the Diplomatic History of Transatlantic Relations since WWII at Leiden University, The Netherlands.
