This comprehensive collection of diplomatic documents provides a detailed account of Britain's relations with Eastern Europe from 1979 to 1982, with a particular focus on the crisis in Poland. Following Margaret Thatcher's ascent to power in 1979, the Conservative government adopted a policy of "differentiation" between the Soviet Union and the rest of Eastern Europe, as well as encouraging individual countries to exercise limited independence. This policy was put to the test in 1980 when Solidarność, led by Lech Wałęsa, challenged the power of the Party state in Poland. Political demands, social unrest, and economic crisis culminated in the imposition of martial law in December 1981, which was suspended in December 1982.
The volume meticulously charts the UK's response to the unfolding crisis in Poland, the threat of Soviet intervention, and its impact on other Communist states in Europe. It also offers a glimpse into bilateral UK relations with Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, the German Democratic Republic, Hungary, Romania, and Yugoslavia, highlighting themes such as human rights and trade.
This volume is of immense interest to students of British Politics, Eastern European Politics, Cold War History, Diplomacy Studies, and International Relations in general. It offers valuable insights into the complex dynamics of the period and sheds light on the critical role played by Britain in shaping the political landscape of Eastern Europe.
