Summary:

"In many respects this volume aligns with the newly emerging contours of Cold War research that are still on the margins of the mainstream scholarship, much of which remains primarily focused on international relations and diplomacy." So state editors Autio-Sarasmo (Finnish Centre for Russian and East European Studies, and the U. of Tampere, Finland) and Katalin Miklossy (Finnish Centre for Russian and East European Studies, and the U. of Helsinki). Following their introduction contributions discuss the many ways that "...relations between East and West were based not exclusively on confrontation or unceasing mutual distrust, but also on collaboration."
