Linking the universalism of the UN to European regionalism, both Cold War superpowers, the USA and the Soviet Union, were founding members of the UNECE. This book provides a unique study of this important but hitherto under-researched international organization. Incorporating research on the Cold War, the history of internationalism and European integration, Stinsky weaves these different threads of historical enquiry into a single analytical narrative. Building on the League of Nations' difficult heritage, and in an increasingly challenging political environment, the UNECE's mission was to facilitate European cooperation across the Iron Curtain. With a number of competitor organizations set against it, the UNECE managed to carve out a niche for itself, setting norms and standards that still have an impact on the everyday lives of millions in Europe and beyond today. Working against an overwhelming geopolitical trend, UNECE succeeded in bridging the Cold War divide on several occasions, and maintained a broad system of contacts across the Iron Curtain"-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 20 $a United Nations. $b Economic Commission for Europe $x History. 610 27 $a United Nations. $b Economic Commission for Europe. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00541209 650 0 $a Economic development $z Europe $x International cooperation. 650 0 $a Cold War $x Economic aspects. 650 0 $a International economic relations. 651 0 $a Europe $x Economic conditions $y 1945- 650 7 $a Economic development $x International cooperation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901835 650 7 $a Economic history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901974 650 7 $a Economics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00902116 650 7 $a International economic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00976891 651 7 $a Europe. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01245064 648 7 $a Since 1945 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Stinsky, Daniel. $t International cooperation in Cold War Europe $d London ; New York : Bloomsbury Academic, 2021 $z 9781350169043 $w (DLC) 2020054747 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019023653.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0FAE829C177D11EC850ADFAD22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
