Much more so than previous works in the field of U.S. foreign relations, this article explores the relationship between the Helsinki Accords and peace activism in the United States. The article explains how well-known groups such as U.S. Helsinki Watch and lesser-known ones such as Campaign for Peace and Democracy West/East used the Helsinki Final Act when they challenged U.S. peace activists to defend the rights of imprisoned anti-nuclear activists in the Soviet bloc and to link the causes of peace and human rights. The article also demonstrates how the exchanges between U.S. human rights and anti-nuclear activists fit into transnational debates about linkages between the issues of human rights, peace, détente, and the “Helsinki process.”

从“下方”改变世界：美国和平活动家与 1980 年代为和平与缓和而进行的跨国斗争

与以往美国外交关系领域的著作相比，本文探讨了赫尔辛基协议与美国和平行动主义之间的关系。这篇文章解释了美国赫尔辛基观察组织等知名团体和西/东和平与民主运动等鲜为人知的团体如何在挑战美国和平活动家捍卫被监禁的反核活动家的权利时使用赫尔辛基最后法案苏联集团，并将和平与人权事业联系起来。文章还展示了美国人权与反核活动家之间的交流如何适应关于人权、和平、缓和问题与“赫尔辛基进程”之间联系的跨国辩论。
