Cold War In Asia: Culture, Technology, History

Contemporary East Asia has been shaped by the Cold War. The conflict left its mark on public discourse, popular culture, scientific and technological development, and social and political structures. Still, the manifestations, developments, and impact of the Cold War in East Asia on global culture have received little attention. Of late, scholars have been revising our understanding of the Cold War from that of superpower rivalries to diverse global and cultural phenomena with multiple actors of conflicting interests. This workshop explores the diversity and richness of the Cold War by reviewing new research agendas, methodological issues, archival sources, and diverse disciplinary approaches.
