The Marshall Plan

THE MARSHALL PLAN at 60

Two years after the end of the World War II, the United States launched a comprehensive aid program to assist in the reconstruction of Europe. Dubbed the Marshall Plan after George Marshall, the then US Secretary of State, the program covered most of Europe, including Sweden, formed an important part in the renovation of European postwar societies. It also aimed to support the future of democracy in Europe, and to insulate European nations from the USSR.In this anthology, four Swedish scholars take stock of the Marshall Plan and discuss its role for Europe and for Sweden. Their contributions combine broad analyses of the US strategies behind the Marshall Plan with the Plans practical implications for Europeans. They cover geopolitical aspects as well as economic ones, and give a better understanding of the foundation of postwar transatlantic cooperation.
