Environmental Histories of the Cold War explores the links between
the Cold War and the global environment, ranging from the
environmental impacts of nuclear weapons to the political
repercussions of environmentalism. Environmental change accelerated
sharply during the Cold War years, and so did environmentalism as
both a popular movement and a scientific preoccupation. Most Cold
War history entirely overlooks this rise of environmentalism and
the crescendo of environmental change. These historical subjects
were not only simultaneous but also linked together in ways both
straightforward and surprising. The contributors to this book
present these connected issues as a global phenomenon, with
chapters concerning China, the USSR, Europe, North America,
Oceania, and elsewhere. The role of experts as agents and advocates
of using the environment as a weapon in the Cold War or,
contrastingly, of preventing environmental damage resulting from
Cold War politics is also given broad attention.
