Diese Studie erforscht die internationale Arbeit der deutschen politischen Stiftungen und verbindet sie mit den IB-Theorien zu transnationalen Akteuren und der Public-Diplomacy-Literatur. Ein Public-Diplomacy-Modell wird verwendet, um die transnationalen Interaktionsprozesse der Stiftungen systematisch zu untersuchen. Es integriert verschiedene Ansätze und geht davon aus, dass Public Diplomacy in einem Netzwerkumfeld stattfindet. Die Aktivitäten zur Demokratieförderung und zum Konfliktmanagement der Stiftungen werden als bestimmte Formen der Public Diplomacy untersucht. In zwei Fallstudien wird das Rule-of-Law-Programm der Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung in Südosteuropa sowie die Aktivitäten der Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung in Südthailand betrachtet. Dabei wird auf ihre Strategien zur Verbreitung von Ideen, ihre Netzwerkbildung sowie ihre Ressourcen der Soft Power eingegangen.

This work addresses the much-ignored history of British policy towards Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Poland following the creation of nation states in Central Europe at the end of the First World War. Lojkó convincingly argues that the absence of trust in the new political settlement and the discrediting of the traditional channels of diplomacy resulted in British influence in the region, being exerted mainly in the form of commercial and financial undertakings. While not always successful, the emergence of this new policy affected the development of diplomatic ties with these new nations.Yet no lasting diplomatic leverage resulted from this British involvement, and the absence of such influence proved fatal in the late 1930's when the new system of nations was disintegrating under the pressure of escalating violence
