Abstract

Gordon Barrett's book, "China's Cold War Science Diplomacy," explores the Chinese Communist Party's science outreach activities between 1945 and 1972. The book focuses on international gatherings involving Chinese and foreign scientists, organized by the Chinese Association of Scientific Workers and its international counterparts. Barrett's research provides meticulous details of diplomats' and scientists' roles in these activities, shedding light on the People's Republic of China's scientific and technological exchanges with other countries. The book also examines the evolving relations between the CCP, the Chinese Association of Scientific Workers, and international organizations such as the World Federation of Scientific Workers and the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs. Overall, "China's Cold War Science Diplomacy" offers a comprehensive understanding of China's science diplomacy during the Cold War era. [Extracted from the article]
