The Marshall Plan was sponsored by the United States between 1948 and 1952 to support European economic recovery from World War II. This seminar explores the political background as well as the economic effects of what until today is considered the the largest financial aid program ever experienced in the world. What was the impact on economic reconstruction and growth? How did the Marshall Plan shape debates on European economic integration? We will also explore the global implications of the Marshall Plan in the context of the Cold War and the process of decolonization.
