Drawing upon extensive research in various European and Latin American archives, the book strives to present a balanced perspective, giving equal weight to the contributions of Latin American and European actors. By taking a fresh approach to party diplomacy, a novel form of international diplomacy introduced by Willy Brandt in the 1970s and 1980s, this study offers valuable insights into the history of both Europe and Latin America during this period.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA particular focus is placed on the role of Social Democrats, both in Europe and Latin America, in the civil wars that unfolded in El Salvador and Nicaragua in the 1980s. The book examines the impact of these conflicts on domestic policies in Germany, Venezuela, and other countries, as well as the complex relationships between these nations and the U.S. government.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough its comprehensive analysis, this book sheds light on the complex dynamics and historical developments that shaped the Socialist International and its role in shaping the global political landscape during the Brandt era. It is a valuable resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in understanding the history of international relations and the role of social democratic parties in shaping the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781666911381\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bernd Rother","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44102238273786,"sku":"9781666911381","price":117.81,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1656065105510_book.jpg?v=1656162412","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/global-social-democracy-willy-brandt-and-the-socialist-international-in-latin-america-9781666911381","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
