Cold War Interactions Reconsidered
Venue: University of Helsinki (Finland)
Period: Oct. 29–31, 2009
The conference
The conference aims at analysing Europe and the former Socialist countries, as well as smaller states and non-state actors by looking at new ways to view and conceptualise the international and transnational histories of the Cold War era.
Leaving East-West bipolarity and superpower confrontation aside, with a multidisciplinary approach the conference will focus on interactions that took place despite the existence of the Iron Curtain.
The conference will analyse the following themes:
- Interactions across Boundaries
- Behind the Scenes and Beyond the State
- The Cold War’s Effects
- The Cold War and the Present
- Reconsidering the Cold War
The conference language will be English.
