This book examines the dynamic evolution of Western detente
policies which sought to transform Europe and overcome its Cold War
division through more communication and engagement. Kieninger
challenges the traditional Cold War narrative that detente
prolonged the division of Europe and precipitated America's decline
in the aftermath of the Vietnam War. Rather, he argues that
policymakers in the U.S. Department of State and in Western Europe
envisaged the stability enabled by detente as a precondition for
change, as Communist regimes saw a sense of security as a
prerequisite for opening up their societies to Western influence
over time. Kieninger identifies the Helsinki Accords, Lyndon
Johnson's bridge building, and Willy Brandt's Ostpolitik as efforts
aimed at constructive changes in Eastern Europe through a
multiplication of contacts, communication, and cooperation on all
societal levels. This study also illuminates the longevity of
America's policy of peaceful change against the background of the
nuclear stalemate and the military status quo.
