The Journal of Cold War Studies features peer-reviewed articles based on archival research in the former Communist world and in Western countries. Articles in the journal use declassified materials and new memoirs to illuminate and raise questions about numerous theoretical concerns: theories of decision- making, deterrence, bureaucratic politics, institutional formation, bargaining, diplomacy, foreign policy conduct, and international relations. Drawing on the latest evidence, articles in the journal subject these theories, and others, to rigorous empirical analysis. Some articles offer reevaluations of important historical events or themes, emphasizing the changes of interpretation necessitated by declassified documents and new first-hand accounts. Other articles seek to bring new evidence to bear on current theoretical debates.
