Citizen
Diplomacy Archive Project
(Read about
the April 21, 2010 Citzens Diplomacy Seminar with Phil
Donahue
and Valdimir Pozner here.)
How
did the Cold War end? The Citizen Diplomacy
Archive Project is collecting and annotating
primary source materials documenting a unique
social movement -- US-USSR citizen diplomacy
of the 1980s -- and making this material available,
for the first time, to scholars and the public.
Currently absent from the historical record,
these documents will serve as a resource for
historians who wish to study the movement’s
role in US-Soviet relations, and assess the
extent of its contribution to glasnost and
the eventual collapse of the Soviet Union.
The project has secured the support of scholars
and institutions, and aims to expand on the
conventional wisdom that attributes the collapse
of the USSR solely to the American military
build-up.
The Hoover Institution at Stanford University
has created a Citizen Diplomacy Collection,
in cooperation with InterAct’s CDAP,
to which participants in the movement have
been contributing their materials. Project
Director Anya Kucharev has been traveling to
Moscow where she has been interviewing participants
and collecting materials from Soviet State
Archives. A Seminar on Citizens Diplomacy is
planned for 2010 in cooperation with The Kennan
Institute of the Wodrow Wilson Center in Washington,
D.C.
