The Soviet Union is often presented as a largely isolated and idiosyncratic state. Soviet Internationalism after Stalin challenges this view by telling the story of Soviet and Latin American intellectuals, students, political figures and artists, and their encounters with the 'other' from the 1950s through the 1980s. In this first multi-archival study of Soviet relations with Latin America, Tobias Rupprecht reveals that, for people in the Second and Third Worlds, the Cold War meant not only confrontation with an ideological enemy, but also increased interconnectedness with distant world regions. He shows that the Soviet Union looked quite different from a southern rather than a western point of view and also charts the impact of the new internationalism on the Soviet Union itself in terms of popular perceptions of the USSR's place in the world and its political, scientific, intellectual and cultural reintegration into the global community.

Relations between the United States and the countries of Latin America have been characterized by misunderstandings based on language and culture, a lack of sustained commitment on the part of the United States, and, in some cases, incompetent diplomats. During the era when many of the Latin Americal countries discarded the yoke of coloniala status, the young United States atempted to define itself culturally, economically, constitutionally, geographically and diplomatically. As Latin America emerged from the crucible of revolution and international power politics, it was affected by the United States and its desired position of leadership in the Western Hemisphere. In order to make sense of these relationships, this volume concentrates on Central America, Peru, Colombia, Argentina, Brazil, Chile snd Mexico. Describing the particular paths taken by each in the formation of r elations with the United States, Shurbutt and his colleagues focus on the American diplomatic community and its effectiveness in tense political situations.
