Soviet and Post-Soviet Foreign Policies I
East-South Relations and the Political Economy of the Communist Bloc, 1971–1991
von Robert M. Cutler, Vorwort von Roger E. KanetThis collection of studies investigates the political economy of international relations between the Soviet bloc (the “East”) and the developing world (the “South”), spanning the entire post-Stalin era while focusing on the 1970s and 1980s. The works examine East-South relations from the standpoints of international trade patterns, financial transfers, military relations including their economic angle, interactions within the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), and the international legal framework for trade embedded in the “socialist offensive in international law.” The chapters provide extensive bibliographies making this volume a handbook of great interest not only to researchers, but also to university students and the general public.
