Abstract

The last decade of the twentieth century will be remembered as the end of the “post World War II period. ” Since 1945, interpreters of international affairs have emphasized attitudes, institutions, “lessons of history, ” perceptions, fears, and hopes that could be traced back to World War II. Security analysts have been preoccupied with the military bipolarity that emerged after 1945 and the implications of the atomic age. International political economists have explained, denounced, defended, or speculated about the viability of international economic regimes established in the aftermath of the war. Even discussions of what is now called the “third world” have often treated the end of World War II as a watershed. Indeed, the concept of a “third world” emerged in part as a reaction to the postwar Soviet and American spheres of influence.
