Abstract
One contribution of the ‘cultural turn’ in Cold War scholarship has been to rethink the limits and conditions of agency attributed to societies, nation-states, and social groups.

Arguing for a context-dependent analysis of power asymmetries, they have unraveled many randomly told stories of the Cold War in the peripheries as well as in the center.1
