This panel will examine some of the strategic and conceptual ‘resets’ in countries following the momentous change brought on by the end of the Cold War. In doing so, we hope to draw some relevant lessons for the way in which scholars and practitioners might approach the post-Covid period.

• Chair: Dr Jeffrey Michaels, Senior Lecturer in the Defence Studies Department
• US Foreign Policy and the End of the Cold War in Africa: A Bridge Between Global Conflict and the New World Order, 1988-1994, Dr Flavia Gasbarri, Lecturer, Department of War Studies.
