Investing in socialist Poland : a transnational history of finance in the Cold War, 1944-1991
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This dissertation explores socialist Poland's ties to international financial institutions during the Cold War era. Revealing the extent to which individuals and institutions cooperated across the Iron Curtain, it challenges the idea of a bipolar world order as an all-encompassing description of international relations in the second half of the twentieth century. Studying socialist Poland solely within the framework of Soviet politics and the bipolarity of the Cold War omits a crucial part of its international history; the country's development followed worldwide patterns of globalization, not just the rhythm of superpower politics. This dissertation argues that the end of communist rule in Eastern Europe cannot be understood without considering the region's integration into global financial markets.
