Description:

We explore European political culture since 1945 in a global context. This is an introductory survey of the period, from the close of World War II until the present. Themes include: reconstruction and memory, Marxism, social-democracy and the New Right; human rights, sexuality and immigration. We look at the events of 1968 and 1989 in a global framework. The Cold War, the New Left, the collapse of the Berlin Wall and of the Soviet Union, national liberation and imperialism, the welfare state, and globalization all offer instances of cultural expression and political conflict. The course emphasizes the role of the arts in politics, and includes lectures, discussion, and a film program. 1.00 units, Lecture
