Lecture 17: Dо svidaniya (до свидания), Cold War May 5, 2010

Why the Cold War Ended Structural factors Leadership: Economic stagnation in USSR Control over Eastern Europe Afghanistan Oil prices Leadership: Gorbachev Reagan?

The Reagan Agenda Foreign policy Confrontational rhetoric Defense spending “Star Wars” Support for 3rd-world insurgencies “Reaganomics” Low taxes (“supply-side” economics/trickle down theory) De-regulation, free enterprise “Washington Consensus” abroad Social conservatism

Problems in the Bloc

How did the USSR Maintain Control? Subversion of elected governments Install loyal local leaders Secret police Occasional military intervention

Hungarian Revolution, 1956

Berlin Wall, 1961

Brezhnev Doctrine We cannot ignore the assertions, held in some places, that the actions of the five socialist countries run counter to the MarxistLeninist principle of sovereignty and the rights of nations to selfdetermination. The peoples of the socialist countries and Communist parties certainly do have and should have freedom for determining the ways of advance of their respective countries. However, none of their decisions should damage either socialism in their country or the fundamental interests of other socialist countries, and the whole working class movement, which is working for socialism. The sovereignty of each socialist country cannot be opposed to the interests of the world of socialism, of the world revolutionary movement. Lenin demanded that all Communists fight against small nation narrow-mindedness, seclusion and isolation, consider the whole and the general, subordinate the particular to the general interest. Each Communist Party is free to apply the basic principles of Marxism, Leninism and of socialism in its country, but it cannot depart from these principles
