History of International Relations: Research

My research has focused on the role of Germany in the Cold War, for example the East-West struggle over Germany's future between 1945 and 1953/5.
Another project isthe launch of Ostpolitik (1969-1970)as seenfrom the Nixon White House.
Together with four colleagues and MTM Publishing in New York, I have published the Encyclopedia of the Cold War (Routledge, 2008).
My most recent publications concern Konrad Adenauer's impact on the Federal Republic of Germany.
My current research is on the Dutch role in NATO's 1979 Dual-Track decision on Theater Nuclear Forces (the "Euromissiles" crisis of the late 1970s and early 1980s).
