Maud Bracke's Which Socialism? Whose Detente?
analyzes the reactions of West European communist parties to the 1968 Czechoslovak crisis, exploring debates over socialism and détente during the Cold War. The book investigates how parties and activists navigated international and domestic pressures, ideological divisions, and the political ramifications of the Prague Spring.
Bracke situates party responses within broader transnational networks and examines the implications for leftist politics across Europe.
Through archival research and political analysis, the work sheds light on the complexities of communist politics in Western Europe during a moment of crisis.
It contributes to Cold War and political history by revealing divergent conceptions of socialism and strategies for engaging with Soviet-led reforms.
