Diversity in Unity. American Perceptions of the Communist Bloc, 1962

Summary/Abstract: Late in 1962, the US Administration revised its plans for the East-European countries. Going from reserve to stagnation, they envisaged “much more normal and active relations with the governments of East-European countries.” With all the impediments arising from the nature of the political regimes, coordination of the cooperation plans was not impossible. The two documents reveal that the Americans were interested in the states in the Soviet sphere of influence. Even if at first there was no hint a change of political regime would be encouraged, such a turn was not out of the question. However, the events of 1961-1962 convinced the US that such an approach of the relations with the socialist states could only be counterproductive.
