Trent'anni dopo
1989 was read in the West not only as the end of Communism but as the final triumph of liberal capitalism on a world scale. The policy choices that followed from such a triumphalist premise are at the roots of many of our current problems. This article discusses some of them with a particular focus on Europe and the US
The Cold War
Arne Westad’s new representation of the Cold War as world history is subtly rather than fundamentally different from the depiction he gave us with The Global Cold War (2005). The competition for mo
America and the Japanese Miracle
In this text, Aaron Forsberg presents an account of Japan's postwar economic resurgence in a world polarized by the Cold War. His interpretation highlights the many connections between Japan's economic revival and changes that occurred in the wider world during the 1950s. Drawing on a wealth of released American, British and Japanese archival records, Forsberg demonstrates that American Cold war strategy and the US commitment to liberal rtade pla…

Cold War historiography at the crossroads
How is the Cold War understood in an expanding and diversifying historiographical field? Conceptual precision and specificity seem to be giving way to a looser understanding of the Cold War as an era that encompassed different although interconnected conflicts and transformations. Some scholars ask for specificity and consistency while current centrifugal trends point to multiple approaches and centres of interest. Diversity is galvanising the fi…
European Socialist regimes facing globalisation and European co-operation
So far, historians working on the two sides of what used to be a divided Europe have had considerable contacts but they have operated – at least in the realm of international history and the history of European integration – with largely separate agendas and networks. The authors of this special-issue introduction have both come to work on the increasing interaction between East and West in the framework of détente, and feel that the time is ripe…

Alle origini del 1989
On the origins of 1989: international factors - Historical scrutiny belies the triumphalist, simplistic narratives of 1989 as either an inevitable revolution or the victorious consequence of American pressure. The Reagan effect cannot be discounted, but it was a complex and nuanced one. More important were the longterm effects of intra-European detente - which eroded the stability of eastern European regimes and bound them to the West - and the i…
Storia della guerra fredda. L'ultimo conflitto per l'Europa
Monografia di sintesi volta a ricostruire l’intera parabola del conflitto bipolare, identificandone i caratteri costitutivi, le trasformazioni dinamiche e poi le ragioni della sua conclusione. La narrazione integra la vicenda strategica e diplomatica con le trasformazioni culturali e le mutazioni del contesto economico e tecnologico della seconda metà del Novecento, fornendo un’ interpretazione ragionata del confronto tra socialismo sovietico e c…
Reinterpreting the End of the Cold War
The history of the Cold War is being re-written according to the newly available sources. But first and foremost it needs to be re-conceptualized and framed within the broader historical context that transformed the Cold War from the 1960s onwards, altered the very dynamics of bipolarism, and eventually brought it to its end. The long duration and the unexpectedly peaceful ending of the Cold War call for new views that transcend the established p…
