Between 1945 and 1991, tension between the USA, its allies, and a
group of nations led by the USSR, dominated world politics. This
period was called the Cold War - a conflict that stopped short to a
full-blown war. Benefiting from the recent research of newly open
archives, the Encyclopedia of the Cold War discusses how this state
of perpetual tensions arose, developed, and was resolved. This work
examines the military, economic, diplomatic, and political
evolution of the conflict as well as its impact on the different
regions and cultures of the world. Using a unique geopolitical
approach that will present Russian perspectives and others, the
work covers all aspects of the Cold War, from communism to nuclear
escalation and from UFOs to red diaper babies, highlighting its
vast-ranging and lasting impact on international relations as well
as on daily life. Although the work will focus on the 1945-1991
period, it will explore the roots of the conflict, starting with
the formation of the Soviet state, and its legacy to the present
day.
This book seeks to launch a new research agenda for the
historiography of Dutch foreign relations during the nineteenth and
twentieth centuries. It does so in two important ways. First, it
broadens the analytical perspective to include a variety of
non-state actors beyond politicians and diplomats. Second, it
focuses on the transnational connections that shaped the foreign
relations of the Netherlands, emphasizing the effects of (post-)
colonialism and internationalism. Furthermore, this essay
collection highlights not only the key roles played by Dutch actors
on the international scene, but also serves as an important point
of comparison for the activities of their counterparts in other
small states.

From the mid-1960s to the early 1970s, revolutions in theory,
politics, and cultural experimentation swept around the world.
These changes had as great a transformative impact on the right as
on the left. A touchstone for activists, artists, and theorists of
all stripes, the year 1968 has taken on new significance for the
present moment, which bears certain uncanny resemblances to that
time. The Long 1968 explores the wide-ranging impact of the year
and its aftermath in politics, theory, the arts, and international
relations and its uses today."
