About the lecture

In this module, we provide an introduction to the Cold War as a whole, focusing in particular on: (i) what it means when we talk about the Cold War: how do we define it?; (ii) the ‘coldness’ of the Cold War: the lack of direct military conflict between the US and Soviet Union, but its ‘hotness’ when considering indirect conflict between the two superpowers, e.g. Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan; and (iii) the diplomatic, economic, cultural, social, and ideological dimensions of the Cold War.
