Consuls in the Cold War de Sue Onslow

Consuls in the Cold War: New Perspectives on the Cold War, cartea 10

Sue Onslow, Lori Maguire
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 26 apr 2023
No studies currently exist on consuls and consulates (often dismissed as lowly figures in the diplomatic process) in the Cold War. Research into the work of these overlooked 'poor relations' offers the chance of new perspectives in the field of Cold War studies, exploring their role in representing their country’s interests in far flung and unexpected places and their support for particular communities of fellow nationals and itinerant travellers in difficulties. These unnoticed actors on the international stage played far more complicated roles than one generally imagines.
