Opis

Published in 1999. The Cold War has been used all too often to set the parameters of what is important to explain in international affairs in the post-war period. The essays contained in this book provide thought-provoking scholarship which helps us both to nuance our understanding of the Cold War and to realise that it should not be taken as an all-embracing paradigm for the explanation of post-war international relations.
