This lecture explores the history of Switzerland during the Cold War period, covering topics such as the consequences of World War II, Swiss foreign policy, the search for a third way, and the crisis of the Swiss special case. It delves into the early signs of the Cold War, the bipolar logic between the US and the USSR, the global conflict's impact on Europe, and the absence of direct confrontation between the superpowers. The lecture also discusses the influence of the Cold War on the European project, the period from Stalin to Gorbachev, and the new perspectives brought by the 'New Cold War History'. It concludes by examining the broader actors, non-state players, and global exchanges influenced by the conflict.
