{"product_id":"ambassadors-of-realpolitik-aryo-makko-9781789205176","title":"Ambassadors of Realpolitik: Sweden, the CSCE and the Cold War","description":"\u003cp\u003e During the Cold War, Sweden actively cultivated a reputation as the \"conscience of the world,\" working to build bridges between East and West and embracing a nominal commitment to international solidarity. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aryo Makko\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1789205174\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781789205176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/12\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Aryo Makko","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44077397049599,"sku":"9781789205176","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_45778498-8236-4ba1-919a-d5a98c4ab23b.jpg?v=1685469748","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ambassadors-of-realpolitik-aryo-makko-9781789205176","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
