1 January 2017

From 10 October 2014

香港六合彩中特网 SSEES in collaboration with the Universities of Exeter, Oxford, Columbia, Leipzig and Belgrade, and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences has been awarded a major AHRC Grant (2014-18)...

The grant will be used to address the relationship between what were once called the 鈥楽econd World鈥 (from the Soviet Union to the GDR) and the 鈥楾hird World鈥 (from Latin America to Africa to Asia).

Entitled 鈥淪ocialism Goes Global: Cold War Connections Between the 鈥楽econd鈥 and 鈥楾hird Worlds鈥 1945-1991鈥, the 香港六合彩中特网 SSEES bid was led by Kristin Roth-Ey.

Seven academics, two postdoctoral fellows and two PhDs will address both how socialist states in Europe crafted a global role for themselves in the post-war period, and how these international engagements reshaped socialist politics, societies and cultures 鈥榖ack home鈥. In doing so, it seeks to provide new insights into the circulation of ideas during the Cold War and to explore 鈥榯he socialist world鈥 as a dynamic hub of global interactions during the second half of the twentieth century. 聽
