Two of the most pressing questions facing international historians
today are how and why the Cold War ended. Human Rights Activism and
the End of the Cold War explores how, in the aftermath of the
signing of the Helsinki Final Act in 1975, a transnational network
of activists committed to human rights in the Soviet Union and
Eastern Europe made the topic a central element in East-West
diplomacy. As a result, human rights eventually became an important
element of Cold War diplomacy and a central component of detente.
Sarah B. Snyder demonstrates how this network influenced both
Western and Eastern governments to pursue policies that fostered
the rise of organized dissent in Eastern Europe, freedom of
movement for East Germans and improved human rights practices in
the Soviet Union - all factors in the end of the Cold War.
