For more than a century, both state and non-state actors have sought to employ sound and harmony to influence allies and enemies, resolve conflicts, and export their own culture around the world. This book asks how we can understand music as an instrument of power and influence, and how the cultural encounters fostered by music changes our ideas about international history UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781782385011?locatt=mode:legacy UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781782385011 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781782385011/original ER -
