Abstract: This paper analyzes the context, circumstances, and institutionalization of East-West-South Tripartite industrial cooperation (TIC) in the cold war era. It argues that TIC was a meaningful strategy for strengthening the East's involvement in the international division of labor long before Mikhail Gorbachev's call for "new thinking" in the mid-1980s. TIC also changed the terms of international relations by giving second-ranked countries a degree of liberty vis-Ã -vis their respective superpowers. In the process, TIC also served to undermine the cohesion of the member countries of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance.
