Abstract: Abstract How has Functionalist doctrine been implemented in the more then seventy years of East-West relations? In the next two chapters we will present several historical examples which may illustrate the theoretical concepts we have formulated in the previous pages. By elaborating on these Functionalist economic strategies, which have been adopted both before and after World War II, we will make clear that this approach has been given more than one try. It may also convince the reader that the Functionalist approach has at times been adopted as a successful doctrine to counter Strategic economic policies. In the years following the Bolshevik revolution, the Lloyd George-option, which we will discuss below, had to compete with a hard-line anti-trade, pro-intervention policy advocated by people like Winston Churchill.
