What was the Cold War that shook world politics for the second half
of the twentieth century? Standard narratives focus on
Soviet-American rivalry as if the superpowers were the exclusive
driving forces of the international system. Lorenz M. Luthi offers
a radically different account, restoring agency to regional powers
in Asia, the Middle East and Europe and revealing how regional and
national developments shaped the course of the global Cold War.
Despite their elevated position in 1945, the United States, Soviet
Union and United Kingdom quickly realized that their political,
economic, and military power had surprisingly tight limits given
the challenges of decolonization, Asian-African internationalism,
pan-Arabism, pan-Islamism, Arab-Israeli antagonism, and European
economic developments. A series of Cold Wars ebbed and flowed as
the three world regions underwent structural changes that weakened
or even severed their links to the global ideological clash,
leaving the superpower Cold War as the only major conflict that
remained by the 1980s.
