In our workshop in Leipzig from 29 June to 1 July 2022 we will look at East-South interactions in the Cold War period and invite contributions on the following questions: How did actors modify their thinking about East-South exchange within time? What kind of impact did these changes have on their home countries? Did practices of business and trade change due to mutual exchange? To what extent knowledge exchange between the East and the South modified socialist development models in each region?
