<br/><br/>Stalinism after the war: a discourse of danger, 1945-53 --<br/>Stalin's foreign policy: the discourse of danger abroad, 1945-53 --<br/>The thaw at home, 1953-58 --<br/>The thaw abroad, 1953-58. 
<br/><br/> The early years of the Cold War were marked by contradictions and conflict. The turn from Stalin's discourse of danger to the discourse of difference under his successors explains the abrupt changes in relations with Eastern Europe, China, the decolonizing world, and the West. Societal constructivism provides the theoretical approach to make sense of this turbulent history
