Snyder 350 Index 357 • Acknowledgements This work would not have been possible without the Program Sociétés Plurielles, supported by the Sorbonne Paris Cité University. We there- fore first and foremost thank the professors who conceived the confer- ence which, in December 2015 in Paris, laid the foundations for a close and regular cooperation between the various contributors to this book. In particular, we would like to thank Sophie Coeuré (University of Paris 7 – Denis Diderot), Anne de Tinguy (Sciences-Po Paris, INALCO), Anne-Marie Le Gloannec (Sciences-Po) and Frédéric Bozo (University of Paris 3 – Sorbonne Nouvelle), as well as the other members of the scientific committee: Marie-Pierre Rey (University of Paris 1 – Panthéon Sorbonne), Evguenia Obitchkina (MGIMO, Moscow) and Gottfried Niedhart (University of Mannheim). We want to highlight particularly Anne-Marie Le Gloannec, a great specialist of contemporary Germany who left us in April 2017. Through the quality and relevance of her reflections as well as her personal investment in organizing the 2015 conference, Professor Le Gloannec’s contributions guided the authors of this book for more than two years. We honour her memory by dedicating this book to her. Thanks also to Ilaria Parisi for her efficiency and good nature in orga- nizing the conference. More broadly, we acknowledge the international community of scholars of the CSCE and the end of the Cold War who informed our research and who offered feedback at the initial conference. We are also grateful to all the contributors, who have cooperated to make this book a collective scientific endeavour. We also express our appreciation to our editor Chris Chappell, his editorial assistant Soyolmaa Lkhagvadorj, and the three anonymous readers for Berghahn Books. Their suggestions, feedback and support were helpful as we developed and revised the manuscript. Finally, we acknowledge our families’ support of our ongoing interest in the CSCE and all of its many consequences. Nicolas Badalassi and Sarah B. Snyder March 2018
