| | The New Face of the Socialist International |
 | | New impetus was given to this theme in 1963 by Brandt, who in writings and speeches began to emphasize coexistence, and by Egon Bahr, the architect of the ostpolitik later implemented by the Brandt government, who in his famous speech in Tutzing, Germany, first used the theme, "change through rapprochement" (Wandel durch Annae- herung). |

But the result of the efforts of all three parties was a series of debates in SI meetings with the aim of achieving a uniform concept of detente within the organization. |
