The Cold War was not only about the imperial ambitions of the super
powers, their military strategies, and antagonistic ideologies. It
was also about conflicting worldviews and their correlates in the
daily life of the societies involved. The term "Cold War Culture"
is often used in a broad sense to describe media influences, social
practices, and symbolic representations as they shape, and are
shaped by, international relations. Yet, it remains in question
whether - or to what extent - the Cold War Culture model can be
applied to European societies, both in the East and the West. While
every European country had to adapt to the constraints imposed by
the Cold War, individual development was affected by specific
conditions as detailed in these chapters. This volume offers an
important contribution to the international debate on this issue of
the Cold War impact on everyday life by providing a better
understanding of its history and legacy in Eastern and Western
Europe.
