This book examines episodes in NATO's history from the founding of
the North Atlantic Alliance in 1949 to its transition to the
post-Cold War order in the 1990s, with an eye to better
understanding its present and its future. NATO's history, now
running over seventy years, can no longer be framed in Cold War
terms alone. Nor can the organization be understood fully as a
post-Cold War institution. Today's NATO is a product of both these
eras. This edited volume offers a reconsideration of NATO's place
in history, looking both at how the alliance coped with the Cold
War and how it managed its difficult transition to the post-Cold
War international order. Contributors recount how NATO coped with
its many political and operational challenges, which on occasion
threatened - but never managed to - derail the alliance. The book
opens new vistas for explaining how NATO thrived and survived for
decades and ponders whether it will survive for many more. The book
will be of great value to scholars, students and policymakers
interested in Politics, International Studies, Global Affairs and
Public Policy. The chapters were originally published as a special
issue of Journal of Strategic Studies.
The traces of the Cold War are still visible in many places all
around the world. It is the topic of exhibits and new museums, of
memorial days and historic sites, of documentaries and movies, of
arts and culture. There are historical and political controversies,
both nationally and internationally, about how the history of the
Cold War should be told and taught, how it should be represented
and remembered. While much has been written about the political
history of the Cold War, the analysis of its memory and
representation is just beginning. Bringing together a wide range of
scholars, this volume describes and analyzes the cultural history
and representation of the Cold War from an international
perspective. That innovative approach focuses on master narratives
of the Cold War, places of memory, public and private
memorialization, popular culture, and schoolbooks. Due to its
unique status as a center of Cold War confrontation and
competition, Cold War memory in Berlin receives a special emphasis.
With the friendly support of the Wilson Center.
