WiSe 17/18: The Global Cold War
Timothy Nunan
Comments
Decolonization and the contest for power between the United States of America and the Soviet Union were two of the major processes of the middle and late twenteith century, but the relationship between the two are still hotly contested by historians. Even though the Cold War between Washington and Moscow is now the object of study by historians, the impact of the Cold War on settings from Chile to Afghanistan to the Congo was profound, making an understanding of the intersection of the Cold War and decolonization crucial to understanding politics in the twenty-first century. In this seminar, we will read selections from the latest scholarship in the field to understand how geopolitics affected the trajectory of the post-colonial world. We will also discuss how historians understand the connection between “the global” and “the local” in writing history, and what kinds of sources and narrative strategies they use to connect processes in Washington and Moscow with events around the world. close
