The Stevenson Chair was established at the LSE in 1932 to promote history without national bias. The Chair became the nucleus of the LSE Department of International History, and its holders championed the discipline of international relations both in Britain and overseas.
In his inaugural lecture as the next holder, Professor Vladislav M. Zubok will speak on main challenges for the discipline of international history in the years after the end of the Cold War and reflect on what might be a new focus of this history in the world of globalization and renewed power politics.
Vladislav Martin Zubok is an expert on the Cold War, Soviet-Russian Cultural History, and International Relations. His prize-winning books include Inside the Kremlin’s Cold War (Harvard University Press), A Failed Empire: the Soviet Union in the Cold War from Stalin to Gorbachev (University of North Carolina Press, 2007), and most recently Collapse: The Fall of the Soviet Union (Yale University Press, 2021).
His next book The World of Cold War (Penguin) will appear in print in May 2025. His current project focuses on the US policies and role in the post-Soviet space in the 1990s.
