(syllabus)
The course will focus on the 20th century, on the transatlantic exchange, and the often changing relations between the United States and Europe with special emphasis on U.S.-Italian relations. Special attention is devoted to the Cold War and the post-Cold War periods. During the course regular reference will be made to current events and students are expected to discuss issues with a comparative perspective. Given the mixed composition of the class, which is open both to Italian and to American students, the course will emphasize the
aspects of cross cultural exchange along with the ability of the students to elaborate their own ideas and positions with respect to the different issues that will be brought up. Finally, Italian
policy will be studied also in the context of the more general European scenario in which it has developed since the end of World War 2.
This course is taught in English.
