This collectively written monograph is the first work to provide a
broad history of the relationship between Eastern Europe and the
decolonising world. It ranges from the late nineteenth to the late
twentieth century, but at its core is the dynamic of the post-1945
period, when socialism's importance as a globalising force
accelerated and drew together what contemporaries called the
'Second' and 'Third Worlds'. At the centre of this history is the
encounter between the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe on one hand,
and a wider world casting off European empires or struggling
against western imperialism on the other. The origins of these
connections are traced back to new forms of internationalism
enabled by the Russian Revolution; the interplay between the first
'decolonisation' of the twentieth century in Eastern Europe and
rising anti-colonial movements; and the global rise of fascism,
which created new connections between East and South. The heart of
the study, however, lies in the Cold War, when these contacts and
relationships dramatically intensified. A common embrace of
socialist modernisation and anti-imperial culture opened up
possibilities for a new and meaningful exchange between the
peripheries of Eastern Europe, Latin America, Africa, and Asia.
Such linkages are examined across many different fields - from
health to archaeology, economic development to the arts - and
through many people - from students to experts to labour migrants -
who all helped to shape a different form and meaning of
globalisation.
