Learning objectives

The course aims to provide the knowledge of the crucial phases of the history of the contemporary world for the period 1914-1989. Particular attention is dedicated to the study of the political, cultural and social relations that characterized the relationship between Europe and the most developed areas of the world in the last century, taking into account both the changes introduced by the processes of globalization of the economy and the changes that took place in terms of international relations. At the end of the course the student must be able to: a) know the most relevant periodizations and events related to the indicated historical period, b) critically confront the fundamental problems of global history, c) use the different historiographic interpretations in an appropriate manner.

Prerequisites and basic notions

Program

The course will retrace the political history of the 20th century, adopting a perspective as global as possible. Special attention will be paid to the evolution of political communication over the century and its relation to international changes. Some of the common threads of the course will be:
- The long agony of traditional empires
- The end of European centrality and attempts at its reinvention
- The rise of dictatorial regimes between the two world wars
- Successes and failures of institutions for collective security
- The geopolitical and ideological antagonism of the Cold War
- The roots of the new ""globalization"; between old and new inequalities
- The birth of "new empires"?
