Moving beyond conventional national narratives, this volume situates the PCE within a complex web of ideological, political, and economic relationships with key communist regimes – including the USSR, East Germany, Poland, and Yugoslavia – and Western European communist parties, revealing how global alliances shaped the contours of anti-Francoist resistance and the internationalisation of Spanish political exile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBringing together leading scholars, it explores the PCE’s foundational role in the emergence of Eurocommunism and its challenge to Soviet hegemony from 1968 onward. It uncovers the informal networks born from internal party divisions, the international solidarity received by the PCE, and the often-overlooked contributions of women in transnational campaigns. Rich case studies illuminate the ideological exchanges, cultural diplomacy, and economic cooperation that defined communist internationalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInterdisciplinary in scope and grounded in archival research, \u003ci\u003eTransnational Communism During the Cold War\u003c\/i\u003e offers a fresh interpretive framework for understanding the global dimensions of Cold War communism.
