Through a series of national case studies - Austria, China, Czechoslovakia, East and West Germany, the US and USSR ? this volume offers a critical reassessment of the development and work of ?Pugwash? nationally, internationally, and as a transnational forum for Track II diplomacy. This major new collection reveals the difficulties that Pugwash scientists encountered as they sought to reach across the blocs, create a channel for East-West dialogue and realize the project?s founding aim of influencing state actors. Uniquely, the book affords a sense of the contingent and contested process by which the network-like organization took shape around the conferences. Contributors are Gordon Barrett, Matthew Evangelista, Silke Fengler, Alison Kraft, Fabian Lüscher, Doubravka Ol?áková, Geoffrey Roberts, Paul Rubinson, and Carola Sachse. 410 0$aBeiträge zur Geschichte der Kirchenmusik;$vvolume18. 606 $aNuclear disarmament 606 $aCold War$xHistory 615 0$aNuclear disarmament. 615 0$aCold War$xHistory. 676 $a327.174709045 702 $aKraft$b Alison 702 $aSachse$b Carola$f1951- 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910737391203321 996 $aScience, (anti-)communism and diplomacy$93530135 997 $aUNINA
