Vittorio Felci graduated in Political Science (2005) and obtained a second-level Master degree in Middle East Studies at the University of Urbino “Carlo Bo,” Italy (2007). He earned a Ph.D in History of International Relations from the University of Florence, Italy (2011), with a dissertation on American-Iranian and Anglo-Iranian relations in the Cold War period. He was later a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of History of the University of Szeged, Hungary (2011-2013), where he expanded his previous research into a broader project which looked at the development of Iran's nuclear program through its connections with the West. He has been at Lund University since 2014, where he has blended his experience as an historian with his political science background, establishing a scientific and methodological approach that has allowed him to publish extensively on the elements of continuity and change in the interaction between the West and the Middle East. More recently, Felci´s research area expanded beyond the Middle East region with the publication, in March 2017, of an edited volume on American-Indian relations between 1947 and 1970. The book, which drew on the work of India expert Matteo Rossini and saw the participation of prominent historians, gives specific attention to the American economic assistance program to Delhi, and draws on a variety of archival sources from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Archives, the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library, the National Agricultural Library, and the National Security Archive.
