Yet the relationship between these two cultural giants has not always been straightforward. The founding of the British-Spanish Society has its origins in 1916 as the Anglo-Spanish League of Friendship which was founded during the First World War by a group of British academics, students and businessmen. It was a means of reaching out in social, cultural and trade friendship with their Spanish counterparts at a time when Spain's official neutrality seemed to be edging closer towards Germany. Subsequently known as the Anglo-Spanish Society, and finally the British-Spanish Society, its members continued to promote these objectives after that particular war had come to an end. Much has changed since then, with an ever-shifting political and diplomatic environment affecting the relations between Britain and Spain, but throughout this the core values of the Society have remained constant.This fascinating book tells the story of an organisation at the heart of the relationship between two of Europe's major powers, it will be compulsory reading for those interested in the process of 'soft diplomacy' but above all for those interested in the relationship between Spain and Britain. 410 0$aLiverpool scholarship online. 607 $aGreat Britain$xRelations$zSpain 607 $aSpain$xRelations$zGreat Britain 676 $a327.41046 700 $aMarti?nez del Campo$b Luis G.$f1982-$01520752 702 $aMarti?nez del Campo$b Luis G.$f1982- 702 $aMarti?nez del Campo$b Luis G.$f1982- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798997603321 996 $aCultural diplomacy$93759509 997 $aUNINA
