LA REVISTA INTERNACIONAL (PROBLEMAS DE LA PAZ Y DEL SOCIALISMO) Y AMÉRICA LATINA EN LOS AÑOS 1958–1968

The journal Problems of Peace and Socialism (in the English version World Marxist Review) was published in Prague between 1958 and 1990 and was distributed to dozens of countries in many language editions and it thus featured an important bond between the Communist parties across the continents. The objective of the study is to analyze the position of the Latin American issues in the frame of the journal during the first decade of its operation marked by a number of ideological conflicts within the world’s left wing. The analysis is based on the premise that this was a specific period of relative freedom when it was possible to publish the articles polemizing the Soviet line of Marxism-Leninism. The first part is devoted to the presentation of the journal and a description of its structure with emphasis on the position of the Latin American parties. The following parts deal with the very production of the Latin American representatives published in the journal. The study is supplemented with a list of articles associated with the problems of Latin America which were published in the years 1958–1968.
