The teaching aims to ensure the knowledge about the transformation of the international order after World War II until the globalization and the end of the East-West bipolarity.
The lessons will focus on two specific areas of the history of international relations:
1. The phases of the Cold War: US - USSR confrontation; competitive coexistence; Détente.
2. The key moments of the European Union founding process: the transatlantic relations versus the formation of the Franco-German axis; the European Coal and Steel Community and the proposed European Defense Community; the establishment of new supranational institutions.
The European Community's path will be examined from the point of view of political history (especially with regard to the transnational cooperation between political parties and trade unions) and in terms of the history of ideas, that is the analysis of the federalist thought within the twentieth century political cultures and about the importance of the religious factor on the dynamics of redefining the rules and institutions of European governance.
The course is so tailored in view of an educational goal, namely offering to students a framework for an independent and critical interpretation of the political, socio-economic and cultural patterns that have led to the determination of the foreign policy guidelines during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
