Beskrivning
Transnational Communism During the Cold War offers a bold and innovative reassessment of the Spanish Communist Party (PCE) as an important actor in Cold War-era transnational communist networks. Moving beyond conventional national narratives, this volume situates the PCE within a complex web of ideological, political, and economic relationships with key communist regimes – including the USSR, East Germany, Poland, and Yugoslavia – and Western European communist parties, revealing how global alliances shaped the contours of anti-Francoist resistance and the internationalisation of Spanish political exile.Bringing together leading scholars, it explores the PCE’s foundational role in the emergence of Eurocommunism and its challenge to Soviet hegemony from 1968 onward. It uncovers the informal networks born from internal party divisions, the international solidarity received by the PCE, and the often-overlooked contributions of women in transnational campaigns. Rich case studies illuminate the ideological exchanges, cultural diplomacy, and economic cooperation that defined communist internationalism.Interdisciplinary in scope and grounded in archival research, Transnational Communism During the Cold War offers a fresh interpretive framework for understanding the global dimensions of Cold War communism. Essential reading for historians of European politics, international leftist movements, and transnational activism, it redefines Spain’s place within the broader currents of twentieth-century political history.

Transnational Communism in Europe During the Cold War breaks new ground in the historiography of communism after 1945. These well-researched and well-written articles demonstrate, contrary to popular belief, just how close the ties were between European Communist parties across the Iron Curtain, and the pivotal role played by the Spanish Communist Party in exile.Brigitte Studer, Professor Emerita of Contemporary History, University of Bern. Author of Travellers of the World Revolution. A Global History of the Communist International.By adopting innovative historiographical perspectives, the authors of Transnational Communism during the Cold War make an important contribution to our understanding of communist connections across Cold War Europe. Their focus on the Spanish Communist Party shows how multiple intersections and influences were at play, moving beyond the traditional “top-down” view of communist modus operandi.Silvio Pons, Professor Emeritus of Contemporary History, Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa. Author of The Global Revolution. A History of International Communism 1917-1991.An outstanding and wide-ranging contribution to the growing field of transnational communist studies. Each of the book’s illuminating chapters illustrate the value of transnational approaches to the history of communism. The book’s focus is Spanish communism but its novel perspectives and analyses reveal the diversity of the criss-crossing networks that shaped the character of the world communist movement. Geoffrey Roberts, Emeritus Professor of History, University College Cork and Member of the Royal Irish Academy
