The course will analyze the evolution of relations between the United States and Europe from the end of the Second World War to the emergence of a post-American world. The first module will focus upon 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, the Suez Canal crisis and the Vietnam conflict, and proposals for a new transatlantic bargain. The second module will discuss transatlantic relations after the end of the East-West division. While the central theme of the course will be the history of relations between the United States and Europe, analytical perspectives about the nature of the transatlantic community will also be presented and debated.
