Did the West win the Cold War? Was it a genuine or a contrived
conflict? When did it begin? How was its cause related to its end?
These are among the questions considered by the contributors of
this volume. Asked to assess the combination of socio-political
forces and events they attribute to ending the Cold War, they have
come up with diverse theories that challenge the self-serving
orthodoxy that claims Western military prowess, economic strength,
and ideological superiority produced the triumph. The contributors
consider a range of views from the contention that the West's
military resolve and economic capacity forced the Soviet Union into
submission to arguments focusing on U.S. and West European peace
movements and East European dissent movements. Between these
diametric positions, they weigh the significance of such factors as
the new thinking in the Soviet Union and the intelligentsia of
Eastern Europe. Through a range of many views, they provide a broad
interpretive framework for understanding the Cold War's end, and
suggest how that understanding is related to the solving of future
conflicts.
