Università Roma Tre

The course aims at providing a basic knowledge of the political, social, economic, and cultural processes leading to the development of contemporary Europe since 1945. Through the analysis of the most relevant issues of European contemporary history (and particularly dealing, in the second half of the course, with terrorism, as a crucial factor marking recent European history), the goal of the course is to provide students with the tools – specific to historical studies – to understand the development of Europe over time and the complexity of 21st century European societies.
