Against this background, Anglo-Romanian dealings in the aviation industry over a period of almost thirty years are a case of converging politico-military interests with major interpretative potential. This holds true for the history of East-West relations and infra-Western commercial competition, but also for the transformation of domestic decision-making patterns and the change in economic priorities. While Britain became Romania's first commercial partner in order to offer a new outlet to the aviation industry, Bucharest was looking at the U.K. to pursue a strategy of industrial modernisation and political visibility. The story of their intersection sheds light on the lower-level reality of Détente in Europe. The degree of collaboration across the Iron Curtain was not just the product of a generally improved diplomatic atmosphere, but - at least in the present case - the result of a peculiar mixture of political ambition, economic viability, and technological expertise. Indeed, the change of economic paradigm in the UK (from Neo-Keynesianism to monetarist Neo-Liberalism), along with President Ceauşescu's fixation with foreign debt, played a crucial role in the vicissitudes of Anglo-Romanian relations in the aviation industry in the period between the demise of Détente and the end of the Cold War. This points to a reasonably articulated model, which is hinged on the category of 'transfer', rather than on the category of 'cooperation'. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"P.I.E-Peter Lang S.A., Editions Scientifiques","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47889790697623,"sku":"9782807606746","price":5265.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9782807606746.webp?v=1781177763","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/detente-and-beyond-anglo-romanian-relations-in-the-aviation-industry-1966-1993-9782807606746","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
