This panel focuses on people and institutions in late-socialist Central and Eastern Europe who fostered international linkages and economic ties. Taking the perspectives of these agents of internationalism seriously, it asks what, if anything, they understood to be socialist about the forms of international cooperation they brokered. Focusing on arms dealers, aid workers, and Native American sovereignty activists, the papers ultimately ask what the myriad international connections forged across Central and Eastern Europe during late socialism meant for the societies that instigated them.
