Cold War Links, Civil Resilience, Local and Transnational Movements

Abstract

During Cold War era, external events served as a means to legitimate battles abroad while defending governments against criticism of crushing human rights at home. We welcome papers that analyse the effects of the Cold War on societies, West, East and South, as well as the role of criticism, activism and/or dissidence in shaping policies and/or international relations. Papers on other forms of transnational linkage, whether institutionalised or not, and their impact on the Cold War, will also be welcome. These can include, but are not limited to, student or labour movements, peace and social movements, trade unions, churches or religious institutions, NGOs, city twinning, and even international institutions.
