Seminar presentation:
This seminar will offer an overview of the nuclear trajectories of various European countries (UK, Germany, Italy, Ukraine), basing each session on a work that a leading specialist in the nuclear history of the country in question will be invited to present. The aim is to establish divergences and convergences, reciprocal influences and counter-influences, and other phenomena of circulation. At the end of the semester, we’ll take a look back at the historiography of military nuclear power in France, with a round-table discussion on the European dimension of French deterrence, present at least implicitly from the outset, and which has undergone a number of changes without ever really materializing.
