“…When George Orwell first coined the term in 1945 to describe the undeclared state of war between the United States and the Soviet Union, he chose name that would suit perfectly to such a distinct period in the diplomatic history (Westad, 2014). The Cold War was indeed a perfect cold war even if it did not have precedent in the diplomatic history.…”

 Every serious confrontation between the United States and Russia evokes new cold war debates. The Cold War found its true meaning because it had achieved to create its own momentum within time. This question is a great test in terms of measuring the level that today's international relations has reached: Is cold war still relevant in a global politics? The answer to be given to this question depends on whether any cold war can be maintained against all the pluralistic tendencies of international relations. It will be a negative one because the dynamics unleashed by globalization are likely to marginalize new cold war regardless of the will to wage and sustain it. For, beyond the will to wage and sustain it, the concept of cold war is a technical issue that can only exist provided that it can achieve to subordinate all the dynamics of the global politics to itself.

“…As a concept, the Cold War embodies the confrontation of two rival ideologies and economic and political models, hostilities between nations, and competition in fields ranging from the military to technology. 7 The emphasis is on travel limitation, restriction of the flow of ideas, and bans on the movement of goods between East and West. In turn, the cultural Cold War refers to the use of culture to influence the perceived 'enemy', as well as potential allies, and even civilian populations in the other bloc.…”

The Role of Finnish Leftists in Soviet–finnish Artistic Exchanges During the Late Socialist Period

The article examines artistic exchanges between the USSR and Finland from the viewpoint of the Finnish left. After WWII, Finland was in a difficult geopolitical position; although not occupied by the USSR, it received little support from the West and so remained an independent capitalist democracy, with little foreign leverage. The Soviet influence was felt in many areas, and throughout the Cold War, Finland received many more world-class Soviet artists than any other Western country. This was in part a consequence of Finland's proximity to the USSR, but the Finnish Communist Party, a major domestic political force, also played a role. Immediately after the war, organizations associated with the Finnish Communist Party enjoyed a virtual monopoly over such exchanges, but this began to change in the mid-1950s. Around that time, the USSR began to allow Finnish artists to train and perform at its world-class arenas, and many of those Finnish students had links with the political left. Based on interviews and supported by archival material from Finland and Russia, the article explores the role of the Finnish left in these artistic exchanges.

“…Dentro de una polarización de planes e ideas, las empresas públicas fueron vistas por sectores empresariales como un instrumento cuestionador de la propiedad privada, en sintonía con la lucha dada al interior del Estado por dos versiones excluyentes de modernidad ofrecidas por el socialismo y el capitalismo liberal, con una tensión creciente entre planeación y desregulación de las fuerzas de mercado (Westad 2011: 10.

¿Caballo de troya o cabeza de turco?: las empresas públicas chilenas en la guerra fría, ca. 1940-1990

El artículo analiza la trayectoria de las empresas públicas chilenas entre las décadas de 1940 y 1990. Se sostiene que las empresas públicas no fueron un Caballo de Troya que contenían un proyecto estatista, ni fueron culpables de una conducta populista de la economía en el pasado. Pueden ser consideradas como instrumentos que utilizaron gobiernos de distinto signo político para llevar a cabo proyectos diversos. A través de la reconstrucción del rol que jugaron las empresas públicas durante el período de estudio, se muestra que ellas no tuvieron un carácter populista, progresista o de desarrollo por sí mismo. Más bien, representaron proyectos enfrentados, entre lo que fue el Estado Empresario, el Área Social de la Economía, la Empresa Integrada y otras categorías presentes hasta la década de 1970.
