This book explores the Cold War in Europe, East Asia, and Southeast Asia in the 20th century, highlighting the global scope and varying impacts of the bipolar system.

This comprehensive book delves into a dynamic exploration of the diverse range of experiences during the Cold War in Europe, East Asia, and Southeast Asia throughout the 20th century. Comprising ten chapters authored by a diverse team of scholars hailing from Europe, East Asia, and North America, this edited volume not only enhances our understanding of the Cold War but also offers two significant contributions. Firstly, it emphasizes the global reach of the Cold War, extending its influence from Europe to East and Southeast Asia. By focusing on the overlapping local, national, regional, and international rivalries that ultimately divided the world into two opposing camps, this volume sheds light on the interconnectedness of events across different regions. Secondly, it highlights the varying impacts of the Cold War in different places. While not all continents are included in this volume, it nonetheless demonstrates that the bipolar system was not a monolithic and uniform entity. By comparing experiences in various cities, this book critically examines the ways in which the bipolar system was circumvented or transformed, particularly in areas where the line between the Free World and the Communist World was blurred.

Cold War Cities will captivate students and scholars of history, Cold War studies, cultural geography, material cultures, and East and Southeast Asian studies alike. Its comprehensive approach and rich insights make it an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of this pivotal period in global history.
