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. 410 0$aStudies in contemporary European history ;$vVolume 21. 606 $aNational security$zSweden$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCold War$xDiplomatic history 607 $aSweden$xForeign relations$zEurope 607 $aEurope$xForeign relations$zSweden 607 $aSweden$xForeign relations$y1950- 610 $a1960s. 610 $a1970s. 610 $a20th century. 610 $aallies. 610 $aambassadors. 610 $aanalysis. 610 $aaustria. 610 $acold war. 610 $acompromise. 610 $acontemporary. 610 $acouncil. 610 $adiplomacy. 610 $adiplomatic. 610 $aeastern europe. 610 $aeconomy. 610 $afree trade. 610 $afreedom. 610 $ahelsinki accords. 610 $ahistorically accurate. 610 $ahistory buff. 610 $ahuman rights. 610 $aidealism. 610 $ainternational. 610 $amodern history. 610 $amodern world. 610 $anato. 610 $apolitical. 610 $ascandinavia. 610 $asecurity. 610 $asolidarity. 610 $astudy. 610 $asweden. 610 $aswitzerland. 610 $atension. 610 $atreaty. 610 $atrue story. 610 $aunity. 610 $aworld history. 615 0$aNational security$xHistory 615 0$aCold War$xDiplomatic history. 676 $a327.4850409/045 686 $aNQ 5920$2rvk 700 $aMakko$b Aryo$01504764 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792728403321 996 $aAmbassadors of realpolitik$93776889 997 $aUNINA
