Conference: The Euromissiles Crisis and the End of the Cold War

I had the opportunity, in the last few days, to be present at a three-day International Conference organized by the Machiavelli Center for Cold War Studies at the Foreign Affairs Ministry in Rome.
I enjoyed the conference a lot, and not only for the delicious food.
The occasion for the conference was the 30th anniversary of the NATO Dual Track decision.
Many aspects of this decision, and of the general "second" Cold War (1977-1987) were analyzed and discussed, such as the importance of the peace movements, the "learning" process that Gorbachev (but also Reagan) went through, and the strategic aspects linked to the actual deployment of the missiles. A lot of attention was also devoted to the point of view of the european States, both in the NATO and the Warsaw Pact camps.
