AMERICAN FOUNDATIONS IN EUROPE KARTONIERT (TB)

Building on the nexus between philanthropy and government that emerged during the late 1920s 
American foundations played a significant role in developing American-European cultural
relations. They shaped the interaction between government and private agencies  they acted as
catalysts of social change  they served as 'global' bridges between East and West  and they
stimulated political  intellectual and economic elites to co-operate with one another  in both
national and international contexts. This volume assembles the contributions of an
international conference held at Amalfi in 2001. The authors explore emerging connections
between the history of international relations  the history of scholarship  and the history of
philanthropy. Their work focuses on the role of the larger American foundations in Europe
during the 20th century  and explores the ways in which the foundations worked - across
countries and cultures  and throughÿ- across countries and cultures  and through bi-lateral 
trans-national and international projects and programmes.
