U.S. public diplomacy and the modernization of education in Spain

Authors: Martín García, Óscar J.;

U.S. public diplomacy and the modernization of education in Spain

Abstract

[ES]: En los 1960s, el servicio exterior estadounidense estableció una estrecha relación entre la educación y el fomento del crecimiento económico en los países en vías de desarrollo. Vinculación que llevó a la diplomacia norteamericana a preocuparse por el atraso educativo de España como un factor que entropecía la modernización del país y, en consecuencia, podía proyectar efectos adversos sobre los intereses políticos y estratégicos de la superpotencia. Para contrarrestar dicha amenaza, el gobierno norteamericano desplegó diversos programas culturales, comunicativos y formativos con la pretensión de elevar el nivel de la educación española y ponerla al servicio del desarrollo nacional. Este trabajo analiza la diplomacia pública estadounidense dirigida a abrir la educación española a métodos e influencias americanas con el fin de estimular su modernización y reforma. De este modo, el trabajo ofrece nueva luz sobre la diplomacia educativa estadounidense en España mediante un estudio que profundiza en la intersección entre la historia de la educación y del desarrollo internacional.

[EN]: In the 1960s, the U.S. Foreign Service established a close relationship between education and the promotion of economicgrowth in developing countries. This linkage led U.S. diplomacy to concern itself with Spain's educational backwardness as a factor that hindered the country's modernization and, consequently, could have adverse effects on the political and strategic interests of the superpower. To counteract this threat, the U.S. government deployed various cultural, communication and training programs aimed at raising the level of Spanish education and placing it at the service of national development. This paper analyzes U.S. public diplomacy aimed at opening Spanish education to U.S. methods and influences in order to stimulate its modernization and reform. The work sheds new light on U.S. educational diplomacy in Spain through a study that delves into the intersection between the history of education and the history of international development.
