      The article discusses the establishment of the organization the International Economic History Association (IEHA) and its significance to dialogue among economic historians during the Cold War and détente. It examines the significance of the IEHA to academic international diplomacy, the motivation of the organizers of the IEHA to keep the group together through Cold War crises, and the role of the field of economic history in international collaborations during the Cold War. It also discusses the roles of scholars Michael M. Postan, Fernand Braudel, and Ernst Söderlund in organizing the IEHA.
