Synopsis

At the end of the Second World War in 1945, the countries of Western Europe found themselves at a crossroads. How should they react to the challenges posed by the peace, Germany's defeat and the newly won freedom? How should they deal with the emerging division of the continent, the eastern part being controlled by the Soviet Union? Would they repeat the experiences that followed 1918, relapsing into national isolationism, or would they engage themselves in new ways of transnational co-operation? Adressing these questions, Return to Normalcy or a New Beginning presents new accounts and interpretations of the immediate postwar situation in leading Western European countries and regions. The book includes contributions by Egon Bahr (Berlin), Bent Boel (University of Aalborg), Patricia Clavin (Oxford University), Morten Heiberg (University of Copenhagen), Carsten Humlebæk (Copenhagen Business School), Joachim Lund (Copenhagen Business School), Axel Schildt (Forschungsstelle für Zeitgeschichte in Hamburg), Jørgen Sevaldsen (University of Copenhagen) and Per Øhrgaard (Copenhagen Business School).

Revue de presse

Sixty years after the end of the Second World War, Per Øhrgaard and Joachim Lund organized and international symposium on the concepts and expectations for a postwar Europe in 1945. These conference proceedings with excellent contributions by political and cultural historians are an indispensable source for anybody interested in the way national and European visions were developed in the different European countries at the time. --- Dr. Paul Michael Lützeler, Rosa May Distinguished University Professor, Washington University, St. Louis, USA

This volume offers new and incisive insights into an historical process that was instrumental not only to the area in which it took place, but had a compelling impact on the wider world. As such, it is a valuable addition not only to European, but also to global historiography. --- Dr. Hirofumi Utsumi, Kwansei Gakuin University, Japan
