RATTI LUCA
(syllabus)
The course will analyze the evolution of relations between the United States and Europe from the end of the Second World War to the crisis of US global hegemony and the return of great power competition. More specifically, the course will debate key moments in the origins and evolution of the transatlantic relationship during the Cold War, such as the Atlantic Charter, the Marshall plan, the formation and evolution of NATO, détente and the Vietnam conflict, Germany's unification and the end of the East-West division. The evolution of relations between the United States and Europe after the end of the Cold War and the new surge in tension between Russia and the West until the 2022 Ukraine war will also be presented and debated together with a specific analysis of the role of Italy within the transatlantic community.
