Description

As decolonization accelerated in the years after the Second World War, dynamic new linkages opened up between the so-called 鈥淪econd World鈥� (from the Soviet Union to the GDR) and the 鈥淭hird World鈥� (from Latin America to Africa to Asia). Nikita Khrushchev trumpeted the expansion of a 鈥渟ocialist world system,鈥� and multi-lateral contacts proliferated through political connections, economic development and trade relationships, educational projects and cultural exchange, migration, and military training and intervention. This course explores the new historiography of the Second-Third World encounter, offering new insights into the global circulation of ideas during the Cold War and evaluating the fate of socialist modernity as an alternative globalization.
