Czechoslovak Ambitions and Soviet Politics in Eastern Europe: Pugwash and the Soviet Peace Agenda in the 1950s and 1960s
Original language description
The chapter analyzes the establishment of the PCSWA in Eastern Europe as an integral part of the Soviet peace agenda, situating Pugwash in relation to the World Peace Council and the World Federation of Scientific Workers. This period was a transitory phase between the Stalinist Sovietization of scientific communities in Eastern Europe and the multilateral cooperation of Eastern Bloc countries in large scale programs under the aegis of the UN or UNESCO. After the creation of national Pugwash committees in Eastern Europe there followed a period in which the Czechoslovak Pugwash Committee was highly active, including in moves to address various political and geopolitical problems of Eastern Europe. These activities had an impact on the functioning of the highly influential WFSW, for example, the analysis reveals how Pugwash activities inspired the Federation to redefine its own agenda and to probe possible joint actions.
