'Perhaps without you, our revolution would not be." 330 $aTwo of the most pressing questions facing international historians today are how and why the Cold War ended. Human Rights Activism and the End of the Cold War explores how, in the aftermath of the signing of the Helsinki Final Act in 1975, a transnational network of activists committed to human rights in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe made the topic a central element in East-West diplomacy. As a result, human rights eventually became an important element of Cold War diplomacy and a central component of de?tente. Sarah B. Snyder demonstrates how this network influenced both Western and Eastern governments to pursue policies that fostered the rise of organized dissent in Eastern Europe, freedom of movement for East Germans and improved human rights practices in the Soviet Union - all factors in the end of the Cold War. 410 0$aHuman rights in history. 517 3 $aHuman Rights Activism & the End of the Cold War 606 $aHuman rights 606 $aHuman rights advocacy 606 $aCold War 615 0$aHuman rights. 615 0$aHuman rights advocacy. 615 0$aCold War. 676 $a323.09/047 686 $aHIS037070$2bisacsh 700 $aSnyder$b Sarah B.$f1977-$01516016 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789321903321 996 $aHuman rights activism and the end of the Cold War$93752198 997 $aUNINA
