This book shows how the globalization of the Cold War during the last century created the foundations for most of the key conflicts we see today, including the War on Terror. It focuses on how the Third World policies of the two twentieth-century superpowers - the United States and the Soviet Union - gave rise to resentments and resistance that in the end helped topple one superpower and still seriously challenge the other. Ranging from China to Indonesia, Iran, Ethiopia, Angola, Cuba, and Nicaragua, it provides a truly global perspective on the Cold War. And by exploring both the development of interventionist ideologies and the revolutionary movements that confronted interventions, the book links the past with the present in ways that no other major work on the Cold War era has succeeded in doing. 606 $aCold War 606 $aWorld politics$y1945-1989 606 $aInternational relations 607 $aSoviet Union$xRelations$zDeveloping countries 607 $aDeveloping countries$xRelations$zSoviet Union 607 $aUnited States$xRelations$zDeveloping countries 607 $aDeveloping countries$xRelations$zUnited States 615 0$aCold War. 615 0$aWorld politics 615 0$aInternational relations. 676 $a909.82 700 $aWestad$b Odd Arne$0472064 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910794901303321 996 $aThe global Cold War$93682245 997 $aUNINA
