Ambassadors of Realpolitik : Sweden, the CSCE and the Cold War Paperback / softback
by Aryo Makko
Part of the Studies in Contemporary European History series
Paperback / softback
Description
During the Cold War, Sweden actively cultivated a reputation as the “conscience of the world,†working to build bridges between East and West and embracing a nominal commitment to international solidarity.
This groundbreaking study explores the tension between realism and idealism in Swedish diplomacy during a key episode in Cold War history: the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe, culminating in the 1975 Helsinki Accords.
Through careful analysis of new evidence, it offers a compelling counternarrative of this period, showing that Sweden strategically ignored human rights violations in Eastern Europe and the nonaligned states in its pursuit of national interests.
