Description

Music has long played a prominent role in cultural diplomacy, but until now no resource has comparatively examined policies that shape how non-western countries use music for international relations.

Ethnomusicology and Cultural Diplomacy, edited by scholars David G.

Hebert and Jonathan McCollum, demonstrates music's role in international relations worldwide.

Specifically, this book offers "insider" views from expert contributors writing about music as a part of cultural diplomacy initiatives in Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Iran, Syria, Japan, China, India, Vietnam, Ethiopia, South Africa, and Nigeria.

Unique features include the bookâ€™s emphasis on diverse legal frameworks, decolonial perspectives, and cultural policies that serve as a basis for how nations outside â€œthe westâ€ use music in their relationships with Europe and North America.
