What was the Cold War that shook world politics for the second half of the twentieth century? Standard narratives focus on Soviet-American rivalry as if the superpowers were the exclusive driving forces of the international system. Lorenz M. Luthi offers a radically different account, restoring agency to regional powers in Asia, the Middle East and Europe and revealing how regional and national developments shaped the course of the global Cold War. Despite their elevated position in 1945, the United States, Soviet Union and United Kingdom quickly realized that their political, economic, and military power had surprisingly tight limits given the challenges of decolonization, Asian-African internationalism, pan-Arabism, pan-Islamism, Arab–Israeli antagonism, and European economic developments. A series of Cold Wars ebbed and flowed as the three world regions underwent structural changes that weakened or even severed their links to the global ideological clash, leaving the superpower Cold War as the only major conflict that remained by the 1980s.
撼动20世纪下半叶世界政治的冷战是什么?标准的叙述集中在苏美对抗上，仿佛这两个超级大国是国际体系的唯一驱动力。洛伦兹·m·卢蒂(Lorenz M. Luthi)给出了一个截然不同的描述，他恢复了亚洲、中东和欧洲地区大国的权力，并揭示了地区和国家的发展如何塑造了全球冷战的进程。尽管美国、苏联和英国在1945年的地位有所提升，但它们很快意识到，鉴于非殖民化、亚非国际主义、泛阿拉伯主义、泛伊斯兰主义、阿以对抗和欧洲经济发展的挑战，它们的政治、经济和军事实力受到了惊人的严格限制。随着这三个世界地区经历了结构性变化，削弱甚至切断了它们与全球意识形态冲突的联系，一系列冷战此起彼伏，到20世纪80年代，超级大国之间的冷战成为仅存的主要冲突。
