Sessions will be formed around the topics of total war, diplomatic history, dictatorships and democracies, decolonization, the Cold War, regional unification and globalization, guerrilla wars, terrorism, “clash of civilizations”, and economic crises, all from a historical perspective. Papers from these and other topics in contemporary history are welcome. Selected papers will be published in a Special Volume of the Mini-Conference Proceedings or in edited books as part of ATINER’s history book series.
