Autorka referuje o mezinárodním kolokviu věnovaném čínsko-sovětským vztahům ve studené válce, které ve dnech 23. a 24. září 2016 uspořádal v Berlíně americký historik Austin Jersild s podporou Berlínského centra pro studium studené války (Berlin Center for Cold War Studies). Kolokvium se zabývalo zejména globálními konsekvencemi čínsko-sovětských vztahů a jeho účastníci se snažili vyzdvihnout nové metody a přístupy k výzkumu studené války, přesáhnout tradičně nejvíce akcentované téma sovětsko-amerického soupeření a zohlednit celý systém mezinárodních vztahů. Autorka ve vzájemné souvislosti stručně seznamuje s obsahem přednesených referátů a diskusí., This is a report on the international colloquium on Sino-Soviet relations during the Cold War, which was held in Berlin, on 23 and 24 September 2016.

The colloquium discussed in particular the global consequences of Sino-Soviet relations, and its participants sought to highlight new methods and approaches to researching the Cold War, to go beyond the most frequently covered topics of Soviet-American revalry, and to take into account the whole system of international relations. The report concisely discusses the contents of the papers presented there and the discussions that followed, pointing out the links between them., Daniela Kolenovská., and Obsahuje bibliografii a bibliografické odkazy
Životopis druhého československého prezidenta Edvarda Beneše (1884-1948) jako politika, diplomata, státníka a politického publicisty je překladem původního titulu Edvard Beneš: De la gloire à l’abîme. Un drame entre Hitler et Staline (Paris, Perrin 2015). Profesor dějin střední a východní Evropy na pařížské Sorbonně Antoine Marès, publikující především o československé a české historii, vytvořil podle recenzenta své dílo v nejlepší tradici francouzské historické biografie. Postupoval chronologicky a dramatické momenty v moderní československé historii i s nimi spjatá Benešova těžká osobní dilemata vylíčil věcně a s porozuměním pro širší souvislosti, bez zátěže negativních či pozitivních emocí, od nichž se často nedovede oprostit česká historiografie. Zvláštní pozornost přitom věnoval vývoji francouzské zahraniční politiky mezi válkami. Recenzent zevrubně seznamuje s autorovými poznatky a některé epizody komentuje ze svého hlediska. V závěru pak polemizuje s Marèsovou myšlenkou, že česká a československá politika se tradičně vyhýbala násilným řešením., [autor recenze] Milan Hauner., and Obsahuje bibliografii a bibliografické odkazy
The short war waged in the autumn of 1962 between India and China for disputed territory in High Himalayas had a long-term devasting effect on the relations between the two Asian powers. The present first part of a study recapitulating the genesis of the dispute and subsequent road to military confrontation maps the origins of the problem in the colonial period of Indian history, with particular focus on changes in British cdecision making in the evolving international context. The one-sided furthering of territorial claims in the absence of a strong and determined adversary led, paradoxically, to parallel exdistence of several alternative frontier lines with no fixed and clearly demarcated border in existence along the extended Indo-Tibetan boundary. The second instalment will follow the developments in the dramatically changed conditions after the emergence in the 1950s of India and China as two strong independent nations., Jaroslav Strnad., and Obsahuje bibliografii
The new power configuration that emerged in the regions of South and East Asia in the wake of World War II and the following decolonization process introduced new players to the game of international politics; the roles played by them were orten inherited from the actors of the previous era. it was the general framework of the bipolar world system and the Cold War that represented a new element in traditional rivalries, and which had the capacity to exacerbate problems that had previously lain dormant. The genesis and escalation of the India-china border dispute, interconnected with the status of Tibet, which was viewed by China as part of her own territory and contemplated by India as a semi-independent buffer state, serves as a classic example. On the Indian side, the problem was further aggravated by the inability of the government to coordinate and fully control the activities of its iontelligence. The article follows the gradual development of the ambiguous approach of Indian foreign policy toward its northern neighbour and the silent Indian acquiescence of the involvement of the United States in the Tibetan issue up to the first bloody border clashes in 1959., Jaroslav Strnad., and Obsahuje bibliografii
