Containing essays by leading Cold War scholars, such as Wilfried
Loth, Geir Lundestad and Seppo Hentila, this volume offers a
broad-ranging examination of the history of detente in the Cold
War. The ten years from 1965 to 1975 marked a deep transformation
of the bipolar international system of the Cold War. The Vietnam
War and the Prague Spring showed the limits of the two superpowers,
who were constrained to embark on a wide-ranging detente policy,
which culminated with the SALT agreements of 1972. At the same time
this very detente opened new venues for the European countries:
French policy towards the USSR and the German Ostpolitik being the
most evident cases in point. For the first time since the 1950s,
Western Europe began to participate in the shaping of the Cold War.
The same could not be said of Eastern Europe, but ferments began to
establish themselves there which would ultimately lead to the
astounding changes of 1989-90: the Prague Spring, the uprisings in
Gdansk in 1970 and generally the rise of the dissident movement.
That last process being directly linked to the far-reaching event
which marked the end of that momentous decade: the Helsinki
conference. The Making of Detente will appeal to students of the
Cold War, international history and European contemporary history.
