This edited volume explores the significance of the early 'Helsinki
process' as a means of redefining and broadening the concept of
security during the latter half of the Cold War. The early Helsinki
process introduced innovative confidence-building measures, and
made human rights a requirement of a legitimate and
well-functioning international system, thus providing the framework
for disarmament in Europe in the mid-1980s, as well as the
inspiration for the later demise of Communism in Europe. Using
newly declassified archives, the book explores the positions of the
two superpowers and the crucial impact of European Community member
states, which introduced European values into the Cold War debate
on security. It also shows how Eastern and Central European
nations, such as Poland, did not restrict themselves to providing
support to Moscow but, rather, pursued interests of their own. The
volume sheds light on the complementary role of the neutrals as
mediators and special negotiators in the multilateral negotiations;
on the interdependence of politics and economics; and on the link
between military security and the CSCE process.
