@siminadragos26 But we are finding it a useful category to explore the ongoing impact of Cold War power and knowledge - e.g. especially "Three Worlds" ideology that still seems to structure ways of making sense of the world in the UK (see e.g. Starmer's recent comments on Poland).

@siminadragos26 Yes, you are right that is a risk - the "post-socialism" of Britain (if that is the right word - as I say, we are still thinking!) is not the same of the "post-socialism" of places that have experience of state socialist rule (the same is true of "postcolonialism", of course).
