Reviews

The various chapters in this book provide useful additional insight on the CSCE and especially the human dimension of the process, including some issues that have not really been significantly studied to date and new data from archives on a number of issues. H-Net The contributions, without exception based on sound sources, some of them of extraordinary originality and very inspirational for research, make the reading of them for everybody interested in the KSZE and East-West detente very rewarding. Sehepunkte

The authors add to the significant literature available on the Cold War, its history, and explanations for how it ended. In the contested debate over the CSCE's contribution, these authors add evidence to the side arguing its significant role in ending the Cold War...This is a fundamental book for historians, diplomats, and political scientists who would like a reference of how international organizations come out of diplomatic negotiations and seemingly temporary gatherings. * Canadian Slavonic Papers The volume is of the highest importance, which manages to encompass some of the most significant positions and strategies, compared to the respective political context, which explains very well the evolution and political context of today. * Journal of Global Politics & Current Diplomacy The various chapters in this book provide useful additional insight on the CSCE and especially the human dimension of the process, including some issues that have not really been significantly studied to date and new data from archives on a number of issues. * H-Net The contributions, without exception based on sound sources, some of them of extraordinary originality and very inspirational for research, make the reading of them for everybody interested in the KSZE and East-West detente very rewarding. * Sehepunkte This excellent volume stands at the forefront of scholarship in the field and will certainly make an important contribution to our understanding of the complex developments that led to the end of the Cold War. * Aryo Makko, Stockholm University and Swedish Collegium for Advanced Study The essays in this volume illuminate just what the Helsinki process entailed and help explain the multidimensional ways in which it facilitated the end of the Cold War-everything from building bridges between groups to keeping dialogue going when the Cold War refroze in the early 1980s and connecting lower-level politics to high politics. * Jaclyn Stanke, Campbell University Bold in ambition and scope, this collection highlights transnational history at its finest. It covers an impressive amount of terrain, allowing for a more layered and nuanced understanding of the CSCE. * Garret Martin, American University
