This book presents a comprehensive reassessment of Europe in the
Cold War period, 1945-91. Contrary to popular belief, it shows that
relations between East and West were based not only on
confrontation and mutual distrust, but also on collaboration. The
authors reveal that - despite opposing ideologies - there was in
fact considerable interaction and exchange between different
Eastern and Western actors (such states, enterprises, associations,
organisations and individuals) irrespective of the Iron Curtain.
This book challenges both the traditional understanding of the
East-West juxtaposition and the relevancy of the Iron Curtain.
Covering the full period, and taking into account a range of
spheres including trade, scientific-technical co-operation, and
cultural and social exchanges, it reveals how smaller countries and
smaller actors in Europe were able to forge and implement their
agendas within their own blocs. The books suggests that given these
lower-level actors engaged in mutually beneficial cooperation,
often running counter to the ambitions of the bloc-leaders, the
rules of Cold War interaction were not, in fact, exclusively
dictated by the superpowers.
