The remarkable, peaceful end of the Cold War dramatically-and
unexpectedly-transformed international politics toward the end of
the twentieth century. At the heart of this amazing change was the
struggle over new and old ideas. Drawing on rich data from
interviews with key Soviet architects of "new thinking" and of
Gorbachev-era policy reforms, Jeffrey Checkel offers an absorbing
historical narrative of political change in the late Soviet period,
along with theoretical insights into the effect of ideas on state
behavior. International structure and domestic institutions account
for variations from country to country in how ideas influence state
policy, Checkel argues. While a changing international political
environment creates opportunities for the carriers of new ideas,
these entrepreneurs must operate within domestic institutional
settings that sharply affect their ability to influence policy. In
the late Soviet period, entrenched assumptions about international
politics were close to breaking down, creating a rare opportunity
for new thinking. Checkel draws on this analysis of policy change
in Soviet Moscow at the end of the Cold War, as well as in
post-Soviet Russia, to illuminate the role of ideas in
international political change.
