“…Another type of opportunity structure relates to the dissolution of deep-rooted ideological cleavages. During the Cold War, system competition between capitalist, free-market economies and communist, centrally planned economies divided the states between two camps, led by the United States and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR; Immerman and Goedde, 2013). Due to these ideological cleavages, opportunities to cooperate with other states, to create and join IOs and to equip them with competencies, were limited to those belonging to the same camp (Rosecrance, 1991).…”

Towards increasing regime complexity? Why member states drive overlaps between international organisations

Multilateral cooperation in international organisations is characterised by regime complexity. The literature usually adopts a policy-focused perspective studying the properties, effects, and dynamics within given regime complexes for different policy areas. Yet few accounts of why states drive regime complexity have been provided in the literature. Therefore, we adopt a state-focused perspective and observe how states differ in the extent to which they foster complexity through overlapping memberships and policy competencies in international organisations. In order to explain this variation, we extract state motivations from the regime complexity literature, but also incorporate the role of geopolitical opportunity structures for complexity as well as interactions between both elements. The empirical analysis reveals that the power to pursue self-interests leads to duplicated policy competencies, whereas duplicating international organisation memberships by creating new international organisations or joining existing ones is costly and a less favoured route towards pursuing substantive gains. The motivation to gain external reputation also positively influences the overlap in membership and policy competencies. Moreover, the number of neighbouring states and the disappearance of deep-rooted ideological cleavages are important opportunity structures for states furthering complexity. Opportunity structures also reinforce the positive effect of power to pursue self-interests and external reputation motivations on complexity. Thus, we contribute to regime complexity research in showing that not all states equally foster regime complexity and this relationship is dependent on a specific context.

“…En el terreno historiográfico, la Guerra Fría ha generado una extensa producción bibliográfica, principalmente en el mundo académico anglosajón, que suele enfocarse en los hitos primordiales de la contienda en un escenario global, generalmente, centrando sus estudios en momentos coyunturales en Occidente y el "Tercer Mundo", en los que se hallan amplios y distintos ángulos (Field et al, 2020;Friedman, 2019;Michálek & Stefansky, 2019;Westad, 2019;Joseph (2019Joseph ( , 2008; Murphy, 2018;Kalinowsky & Daigle, 2016;Immerman & Goedde, 2013;Leffler & Westad, 2012;Gaddis, 2011b;Hopkins, 2011;Black, 2011, entre otros).…”

Este artículo analiza la recepción y las reacciones en el debate político chileno ante la llamada “Primavera de Praga”, especialmente en el Congreso Nacional, en agosto de 1968. Metodológicamente, el estudio histórico consulta fuentes primarias, documentos del Archivo Histórico del Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores chileno y prensa de la época, diarios y revistas. Finalmente, se evidencian distintas posiciones de los actores políticos locales ante los acontecimientos de la Guerra Fría global, tanto de justificación de los hechos como de crítica a la intervención armada.

The Reproductive Future: “Space Babies” in Chinese Posters 1950s–1980s

This paper focuses on the visual depiction of children venturing into space in China during the late 20th century. I investigate how children are portrayed in Chinese posters and their space exploration themes by comparing them with similar art forms in the Soviet Union and the United States during the 1950s–1980s. Moreover, the study examines how these posters both shaped and reflected the political, social, and gender discourses of the period and served as means of reinforcing the reproductive future while interacting with Chinese historical myths. The study also considers the motivations for including chubby babies in Chinese posters, noting that this primarily resulted from Chinese moral beliefs. By historicizing the meaning-making process behind the “space babies” in Chinese posters, I argue that the depiction of children venturing into space helped in two distinct ways. First, it helped shift traditional immortality ideology into new forms of living and delimit the Chinese’s vision of the reproductive future: a desire to create better futures for our children/humanity by participating in politics. Furthermore, these visualizations apply the form of children as citizens to represent the mother country’s wishes while reflecting the corresponding Chinese national policy and fear of anthropic population expansion.
