| description | The article aims at presenting – very fragile and scanty – foreign relations existing
between the Unites States of America and Sweden during the initial Cold War period.
The author discusses the Swedish reluctance to give up its neutrality as contrary to the
expectations which America had with reference to Sweden. In order to receive American
aid, particularly in the form of military equipment, the American government required
significant contributions to be made on the part of Sweden and her people in the process
of non-alignment with the Communist Block. The article both presents the American
public diplomacy efforts to have been exercised mostly via cultural and educational exchange
programs and demonstrates the activities of the United States Information Agency
undertook so as to convince the Swedish society to American culture, American people
and American foreign policy aims and tools. Although Sweden remained determined
to continue its policy of non-alliance and neutrality, she nevertheless contributed to the
improvement of East-West relations. |
