Les nouvelles frontières sont l'un des résultats les plus visibles des deux guerres mondiales en Europe. Les Actes des colloques de Strasbourg et de Montréal abordent la question de l'établissement des frontières après les deux guerres mondiales dans une perspective comparative, en dépassant la sphère purement diplomatique pour englober les aspects économiques, culturels et sociaux. Ils font ressortir la complexité croissante des problèmes avec l'irruption des opinions publiques dans les relations internationales et le poids accru des considérations économiques et culturelles. Mais les frontières en Europe sont, en dernière analyse, comme par le passé, la traduction spatiale d'un équilibre entre les puissances. La grande nouveauté des deux après-guerres est l'intervention décisive de puissances non-européennes dans la détermination des nouveaux équilibres. The establishment of new frontiers in Europe was one of the most significant results of the two World Wars. The proceedings of two international conferences, in Strasbourg and Montréal, treat this question from a comparative historical point of view. This book not only deals with the purely diplomatic sphere but also includes the economic, cultural, social, and political dimensions of frontier changes. These proceedings analyze the impact of public opinion on contemporary international relations. They also illustrate the global aspects of European politics as well as the role of outside states in the alteration of Europe's borders and in the quest for a new power balance in the two postwar periods.

This book provides a new quantitative view of the wartime economic experiences of six great powers; the UK, the USA, Germany, Italy, Japan and the USSR. What contribution did economics made to war preparedness and to winning or losing the war? What was the effect of wartime experiences on postwar fortunes, and did those who won the war lose the peace?
