Opis

The contributors to this volume explore the socio-economic and socio-cultural processes of political-cultural realignment and their social impetus in Western Europe and the Euro-Atlantic area in and around the 1970. These processes are investigated in the context of three agenda-setting topics of international history of this period: human rights, including the impact of decolonisation; East-West detente in Europe; and transnational relations and discourses.

Recenzje

’This is a genuinely innovative international project that breaks much new ground, and gives fresh insights into the long 1970s. It looks at ideas about human rights as well as the practical, transnational politics surrounding human rights issues in European and trans-Atlantic relations.’ Anne Deighton, Wolfson College, University of Oxford, UK
