The course concerns with the reinterpretation of Czech, Czechoslovak and Central European history in the global framing. Focusing on the post-war era, the individual lectures will offer a perspective on Cold War Czechoslovakia that is different from the traditional European-centred views. The course shows that the processes of decolonization, modernization and globalization were important not only in the West and in the Global South but also in the state socialist countries in the East. Showing the processes and relations in the longue durée, the course also examines the roots of Central Europe’s global entanglements and its role in the new post-Cold War world.
