On November 12, three members of the , Laurien Crump, Lorena De Vita, and Paschalis Pechlivanis will host a joint digital round table. Each of them will use their latest publications as a starting-point for a debate about questions pertaining to “Small States, Pericentrism and the Global Cold War”.

Programme

Laurien Crump will discuss the volume “Margins for Manoeuvre in Cold War Europe – The Influence of Smaller Powers” in which she and Susanna Erlandsson challenge the view that the Cold War is conventionally regarded as a superpower conflict that dominated the shape of international relations between World War II and the fall of the Berlin Wall. 

Lorena De Vita will discuss her latest publication “Israelpolitik – German–Israeli relations, 1949–69” in which she examines why the rapprochement between Germany and Israel in the aftermath of the Holocaust is one of the most striking political developments of the twentieth century. 

Paschalis Pechlivanis will discuss his book “America and Romania in the Cold War – A Differentiated Détente, 1969-80”. In his publication, he examines the US foreign policy of differentiation towards the socialist regimes of Eastern Europe as it was implemented by various administrations towards Ceausescu’s Romania from 1969 to 1980.
