- W4381940557 abstract "Abstract Defectors fleeing the Soviet Union seized the world’s attention during the Cold War. Their stories were heavily reported and were dramatized in spy novels and films. Unlike other refugees, they were pursued by the states they left even as they were sought by the United States and other Western governments eager to claim them. Defectors were willing to take risks to transcend the limitations of the Cold War world. The book follows their treacherous journeys and looks at how their unauthorized flight gave shape to a globalized world. It charts a global struggle over defectors among rival intelligence agencies operating in the shadows of an occupied Europe, in the forbidden border zones of the USSR, in the disputed straits of the South China Sea, and around the walls of Soviet embassies. The book reveals a Cold War world whose borders were far less stable than the notion of an “Iron Curtain” suggests. Surprisingly, the competition for defectors paved the way for collusion between the superpowers, who found common interest in regulating the unruly spaces through which defectors moved. Disputes over defectors mapped out the contours of modern state sovereignty in previously contested places, and defection’s ideological framework hardened borders by reinforcing the view that asylum should be granted only to migrants with clear political claims. Although defection all but disappeared after the Cold War, it helped forge an international refugee system whose legacy and limitations remain with us to this day." @default.
