Lessons of the Cold War? – Visegrad Scholarship at the Blinken OSA Archivum Fellowship

Deadline: November 15, 2023

https://networks.h-net.org/group/announcements/20008745/lessons-cold-war-visegrad-scholarship-vera-and-donald-blinken-open

Location: Hungary

Subject Fields:

Eastern Europe History / Studies, European History / Studies, Human Rights, Modern European History / Studies, Social History / Studies

In the context of the current invasion of Ukraine and the ongoing tragic war, many analysts have claimed that we face the real end of (or the confirmation) of the Cold War and its dichotomies. What we witness would be the outright confrontation between civic liberalism and autocracy, or the “West” and the “East”. According to Stephen Kotkin, even if post-communist societies have changed, a military-police dictatorship in some former satellite countries is still fighting a “West” seen as enemy, and this has the reverse consolidating effect on the West which re-emerged and stood up against Putin.
