'Tough negotiations'. The two Germanys in Syria and Iraq, 1963-74 Massimiliano Trentin, PhD in History of International Relations, University of Florence, Department of 'Studi sullo Stato', conducted his doctoral research on Syrian-German cooperation. His interests focus on the role of the Third World in shaping international relations, particularly as far as the Middle East is concerned.
When the Cold War joined the decolonization process both camps had to answer the major challenges faced by the newly-independent states, that is political independence and economic development. Besides their own priorities in the Arab Middle East, the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic offered their own models for modernization as alternatives and connected with a camp-choice. The research points out how Syrian and Iraqi regimes actually neutralized such a linkage and tried to secure their nation-building development through the exploitation of Cold War rivalry. German archives offer a deep insight into the troubled relations between Arab nationalism and Europe in the 1960s and mid-1970s.
