Dr. Fritz Bartel, Assistant Professor in International Affairs and core faculty member with the Albritton Center for Grand Strategy, wrote the introduction for the H-Diplo teaching roundtable on the Cold War and History. The roundtable features essays from four scholars from around the world that explore different approaches to presenting the Cold War “not as a definitive narrative (least of all as one of simple bipolar competition), but rather as a set of questions.”
The Albritton Center for Grand Strategy (CGS) serves as an intellectual hub for the critical examination of American grand strategy. Specifically, the Center supports research that takes a fresh look at America’s grand strategic choices; fosters dialogue between scholars and practitioners; and helps prepare a new generation of public servants who will be grand strategic thinkers.
