    "The US government launched the European Recovery Programme, otherwise known as the 'Marshall Plan', in order to save war-torn Europe from collapse in 1948. Yet while much is known about the economic side of the Marshall Plan, the extensive film campaign that accompanied it has been largely overlooked until now. The American Marshall Plan Film Campaign and the Europeans is the first book to explore the use of the Marshall Plan films and, importantly, their distribution and reception across Europe. The study examines every available film - the 170 that remain from the 200 estimated to have been made - and looks at how they were designed to instil hope, argue the case for economic restructuring and persuade the Europeans of the superiority of the liberal-capitalist system. The book goes on to reason that the films served as a powerful weapon in the cultural Cold War, but that the European audiences were by no means passive victims of the US propaganda effort. Maria Fritsche discusses the Marshall Plan films in the context of countries across Western, Northern and Southern Europe, covering the majority of the 17 European countries that participated in the Plan in the process. The book incorporates 70 images and utilises a vast number of archival sources to explore the strategies the US adopted to sway the minds of the Europeans, the problems they encountered in the process and, not least, the varied responses of the European audiences. It is a vital study for any scholar or student keen to know more about postwar recovery in Europe, the legacy of the Second World War or America's relationship with Europe in the 20th century"--

    This working paper discusses how decision support can contribute to the formulation of public policies to achieve greater consistency and coherence. If decision support fulfills its role, it is assumed that this favors the design of more efficient and effective government programs. In order to investigate these issues in detail, the analysis reconstructs the making of the Marshall Plan, which is considered the greatest and most complex plan ever developed since the twentieth century. Combining in-depth case study methodology, microhistory, and implementation science, the analysis concludes that the presence or absence of strategic formulation, decision support, and implementation planning is part of the "big bang" of policies and programs and determines their trajectories. The conclusions suggest that the reinforcement of the strategic role of decision support advisory staff have practical and concrete effects in defining the theory of change and the scope of intervention, and not the details of the operationalization of specific solutions. The study presents the open method of coordination, used by the New Deal and reproduced in the European Recovery Program, and recommends its use as a policy-making practice targeting greater strategic robustness and programs with proper managerial autonomy. The analysis confronts the crucial issue of the influence of interest groups in policy making. This is something inherent to the democratic process and to the role of the State as a broker. The challenge is to be better equipped to face the risk of capture by predatory interests. This major problem remains badly solved by the more traditional literature on public policy that has served as the bedside book for most policymakers. At the end, we show some documents that remained secret for fifty years. They expose the backstage decision support for the formulation of the Marshall Plan and exemplify, in practice, the strategic role that top-level advisors can play.

    This working paper investigates the Marshall Plan from an unprecedented angle: that of strategy formulation, policy design, and the coordination of policy implementation. Through an in-depth case study, the Marshall Plan proves to be a far-reaching experience that still brings to light chronic and crucial problems for those interested in ex ante policy analysis. The conclusion is that the plan can be reinterpreted as an approach to complex and multi-causal problems (wicked problems) in search of building integrated solutions and government action as coordinated as possible. The approach consists of striving for strategic definitions centered on the correct choice of priority problems and the identification of their causal chain. Around these definitions, the policy design seeks to balance short-term responses with attention to long-term causes. Such assumptions precede issues such as, for example, the efficient budget allocation and the optimization of administrative and regulatory resources - concerns which are more focused on consequences than on root causes. With these preliminaries guaranteed, the policy design establishes a policy governance with due command and central control over the strategy, but with managerial autonomy over the programs. It leaves an open part of the process of formulating alternatives so that they adjust to a decentralized and capillarized implementation, with a technical cooperation network that remains close to the street-level bureaucracy.
