 I am an Associate Professor of International History at the School of International Studies of the University of Trento (Italy). I hold an MA in International Politics from the University of Florence (1996), an MSc in Development Studies from the London School of Economics (2000), and a PhD in History of International Relations from the University of Florence (2002). My research interests include the history and foreign policy of post WW2 Germany, North-South relations, East-South relations, Italian foreign policy after 1945. During my stay at the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs, I plan to work on a book manuscript that deals with the afterthoughts on development during détente, with an original emphasis on the role of European countries, East and West. The title of my project is *Rethinking development in the 1970s: between global challenge, environmental risk and Cold War dynamics.* My latest book, *Una strana guerra fredda* (A strange kind of Cold War), is forthcoming for Il Mulino, Bologna. Recent publications include: S. Lorenzini (2016), “Ecologia a parole? L’Italia, l’ambientalismo globale e il rapporto ambiente-sviluppo intorno alla conferenza di Stoccolma”, in *Contemporanea* XIX, n.3, 2016, 395-418; S. Lorenzini (2016), “Ace in the hole or hole in the pocket? The Italian Mezzogiorno and the story of a troubled transition from development model to development donor.”, *Contemporary European History*  (forthcoming); S. Lorenzini (2014), “Comecon and the South in the years of détente: a study on East–South economic relations”, *European Review of History: Revue europeenne d'histoire*, 21:2, 183-199, DOI: 10.1080/13507486.2014.888708.
