From its inception, the Conference on Security and Cooperation in
Europe (CSCE) provoked controversy. Today it is widely regarded as
having contributed to the end of the Cold War. Bringing together
new and innovative research on the CSCE, this volume explores
questions key to understanding the Cold War: What role did
diplomats play in shaping the 1975 Helsinki Final Act? How did that
agreement and the CSCE more broadly shape societies in Europe and
North America? And how did the CSCE and activists inspired by the
Helsinki Final Act influence the end of the Cold War?

The legacy of World War II and the division of Eastern and Western
Europe produced a radical asymmetry, and a variety of misgivings
and misunderstandings, in French and German experiences of the
nuclear age. At the same time, however, political actors in both
nations continually labored to reconcile their differences and
engage in productive strategic dialogue. Grounded in cutting-edge
research and freshly discovered archival sources, France, Germany,
and Nuclear Deterrence teases out the paradoxical nuclear
interactions between France and Germany from 1954 to the present
day.
The Soviet Union and Cold War Neutrality and Nonalignment in Europe
examines how the neutral European countries and the Soviet Union
interacted after World War II. Amid the Cold War division of Europe
into Western and Eastern blocs, several long-time neutral countries
abandoned neutrality and joined NATO. Other countries remained
neutral but were still perceived as a threat to the Soviet Union's
sphere of influence. Based on extensive archival research, this
volume offers state-of-the-art essays about relations between
Europe's neutral states and the Soviet Union during the Cold War
and how these relations were perceived by other powers.
The Soviet Union and Cold War Neutrality and Nonalignment in Europe
examines neutral countries in Europe at a time when most
contemporaries had little faith in neutrality. During the split
between Western and Eastern blocs, several long-time neutral
countries abandoned the policy of neutrality and joined NATO. Other
countries which remained neutral were perceived as a threat to the
Soviet Union's sphere of influence. Based on extensive archival
research, this volume offers state-of-the-art research about the
relations between Europe's neutral states and the Soviet Union
during the Cold War and how these relations were perceived by other
powers.
