HIS 161 - Europe since 1945

Institution:

Long Island University-C W Post Campus

Subject:

Description:

This course will explore major trends in the recent history of Europe in four sections: first from the period of postwar reconstruction and the Cold War; next through the decades of the "economic miracle;" on to the period of experimentation with new political solutions like social democracy, neoliberalism and goulash socialism; and finally to recent decades attempting to reconcile economic and political unification with a new focus on the importance of local and regional identities. In addition to secondary history texts, a mix of readings and films from east and west will help students overcome a national-histories approach to the period and reach the end of the semester able to consider in an informed way the problems faced by an area with such rich and troubled memory politics. Prerequisites of HIS 2 or permission of instructor is required.
