This article is representative of the “culturalist” school of thought inpolitical science. Using a paradigm coined by Foucault, numerous facesof power in the international knowledge order are explored. Startingfrom the assumption that the burden of “cultural gate-keeping’’ restsheavily upon UNESCO’s shoulder, it is analyzed whether ISESCOcan count as a counter-power. Once the flaws of the comparativeframework that posits ISESCO as a “second UNESCO’ are shown,an Islamic methodology is used in order to see whether this Islamiccultural institution represents Islam or simulates it. Such an inquiryrequires a discursive analysis of two institutions that share a commoncultural goal using either the framework of internationalism or that ofthe Ummah.

Abstract In recent years, the permeability of the Iron Curtain seems to have become a new paradigm in the field of post-war history – urban history included. It is clear, however, that significant differences existed among Eastern Bloc countries in terms of how open they were to Western influences, and to what extent their governments allowed those countries’ citizens – professionals among them – to gain experiences abroad. This article investigates the ways city planning and heritage policy in state socialist Hungary were influenced by international trends; it explores the roles Hungarian architects, urban planners and other experts played after 1956 in knowledge transfers, i.e. the transmission of novel ideas in the field of architecture and urban planning, with special regard to the renewal of inner-city areas and historic town centres. Besides reflecting critically on concepts of the strict East–West divide, the article also calls attention to the limits of freedom inherent even in a relatively liberal Eastern Bloc regime: various forms of state control – including state security surveillance – continued to characterize the system until its collapse in 1989, affecting the mobility of urbanists and architects as well as all other professional groups.
