The history of Cold War Europe has long been explained and narrated as a story of separation and antagonism between two blocs — East vs. West. Over the past two decades, numerous historians have reconstructed and revealed the diverse geographies of economic, social, political, and intellectual interactions and exchanges in a Europe made also of overlapping spaces of cooperation generated by a specifically European détente, which differed in both timing and goals from the superpowers’ short-lived one. This historiographical review outlines the scope and main arguments of recent historiography and highlights the contributions of the Italian scholarship on the experience of this pan-European space.
Keywords: cooperation, détente, Europe, Cold War, exchanges, historiography
