  • "Sulla Scissione Socialdemocratica Del 1947"
    "SULLA SCISSIONE SOCIALDEMOCRATICA DEL 1947" 26-04-2018 - STORIE & STORIE La storiografia politica é ormai compattamente schierata nel giudicare validi, anche perché - cosí si dice - confermati dalla storia, i motivi che, nel gennaio 1947, portarono alla scissione detta „di Palazzo Barberini", che l´11 gennaio di quell´anno diede vita alla socialdemocrazia italiana. Il PSIUP (1), che era riuscito a riunire nello stesso partito tutte le "anime" del socialismo italiano, si spacco´ allora in due tronconi: il PSI di Nenni e il PSDI (2) di Saragat. I due leader, nel corso del precedente congresso di Firenze dell´ 11-17 aprile1946, avevano pronunciato due discorsi che, per elevatezza ideologica e per tensione ideale, sono degni di figurare nella storia del socialismo, e non solo di quello italiano. Il primo, Nenni, aveva marcato l´accento sulla necessitá di salvaguardare l´unitá della classe lavoratrice, in un momento storico in cui i tentativi di restaurazione capitalista erano ormai evidenti; il secondo aveva messo l´accento sulla necessitá di tutelare l´autonomia socialista, l´unica capace di costruire il socialismo nella democrazia, in un momento in cui l´ombra dello stalinismo si stendeva su tutta l´Europa centrale e orientale. Pochi mesi dopo, si diceva, la drammatica scissione tra „massimalisti" e „riformisti" (3), che la storia, o meglio, gli storici, avrebbero poi giudicato necessaria e lungimirante, persino provvidenziale. Essi, infatti, hanno dovuto registrare il trionfo del riformismo, ormai predicato anche dai nipotini di Togliatti e dagli italoforzuti. „Il termine riformista é oggi talmente logorato dall´uso, dall´abuso e dal cattivo uso, che ha perso ogni significato" (4).

  • Sicily and the Surrender of Italy
    United States Army in World War II Mediterranean Theater of Operations Sicily and the Surrender of Italy by Albert N. Garland and Howard McGaw Smyth Assisted by Martin Blumenson CENTER OF MILITARY HISTORY UNITED STATES ARMY WASHINGTON, D.C., 1993 Chapter XIV The Climax Sardinia Versus the Mainland The successful invasion of Sicily clarified strategic problems and enabled the Allies to turn from debate to decision. The Combined Chiefs of Staff at the TRIDENT Conference in May had directed General Eisenhower to knock Italy out of the war and contain the maximum number of German forces, but they had not told him how. Preparing to launch operations beyond the Sicilian Campaign, AFHQ had developed several outline plans: BUTTRESS, invasion of the Italian toe by the British 10 Corps; GOBLET, a thrust at the ball of the Italian foot by the British 5 Corps; BRIMSTONE, invasion of Sardinia; and FIREBRAND, invasion of Corsica. But a firm decision on the specific course of action to be taken was still lacking.1 The four plans, Eisenhower had explained to Churchill during the Algiers meetings in June, pointed to two broad alternative courses. If the Axis resisted vigorously in Sicily, thereby forecasting high Italian morale and a bitter and protracted struggle for the Allies, then BRIMSTONE and FIREBRAND, insular operations, were preferable. Otherwise, operations on the Italian mainland were more promising. Despite Churchill's articulate enthusiasm for the latter course, Eisenhower had made no commitment. He awaited the factual evidence to be furnished in Sicily. Meanwhile, the Americans and British continued to argue over strategy.

By invoking the looming presence of a graver, more insidious threat the rhetoric of the lesser evil legitimizes fascist violence against dissidents and vulnerable populations. Through an analysis of texts by fascist philosopher Giovanni Gentile and his Brazilian counterpart Miguel Reale, I reveal that the rhetoric of the lesser evil is a constitutive part of fascist discourse and that in Italy and Brazil this aspect of fascist doctrine met a favorable combination of subjective and objective conditions which has allowed it to thrive within democratic structures.

The idea was launched at a roundtable meeting at the International Studies Association (ISA) Annual Convention in New Orleans in February 20101 and will be elaborated upon during a panel at the Annual Convention of the ISA in Montreal in March 2011.2 This brief overview explains the Project’s objectives, tools, and organizational aspects. It encompasses assumptions and decisions to be made, and serves as an invitation to join or support the Project in one way or another. If interested in working on the IO BIO project, please contact us at [email protected]. A. OBJECTIVES 1. A Biographical Dictionary Secretaries-General (SGs) – or other executive heads with different titles – of International Organizations (IOs) are the chief executives and representatives of international bureaucracies that vary in size and shape. This position has standing within International Relations Theory and many IO personalities are known to a wider public for their roles in international politics. However, there is still a gap in our understanding of the people in these posts, both individually and collectively, in terms of who they are and how they affect the performance of IOs, as organizations and in international relations.

  • The United States and Fascist Italy: the Rise of American Finance in Europe
    84 • Italian American Review 8.1 • Winter 2018 The United States and Fascist Italy: The Rise of American Finance in Europe. By Gian Giacomo Migone. With a preface and translated by Molly Tambor. New York: Cambridge University Press, 2015; originally published in Italian in 1980. 405 pages. Gian Giacomo Migone has written a powerful argument for the continuities of U.S. economic policy from the post–World War I period to the post–World War II period, a primary goal of which was the stabilization of Europe as an outlet for U.S. capital and manufactured goods. In this project, Mussolini was a key component. Instead of viewing him as the destroyer of democracy in Italy, many Americans saw him as the guarantor of stability and a willing partner in U.S. capitalist expansion in the 1920s. This commitment required peace, which Mussolini dutifully offered, contrary to all his bellicose rhetoric, because he needed U.S. investment to stabilize his fledgling dictatorship. It was only the Depression and the contraction of U.S. economic involvement in Europe that broke this close relationship and led Italy down the path of imperialism and war. Migone’s argument is premised on the fact that after World War I the United States needed to keep expanding its production and needed outlets for its excess capital. For this to happen, Europe had to be stabilized, debts owed to the United States had to be settled, and any nationalist agendas, specifically French desires to keep Germany weak, had to be eliminated. Europe, and specifically Italy, went along with this U.S.

  • ITALY: Five Fascists
    Da “Time”, 6 settembre 1943 ITALY: Five Fascists Fascismo's onetime bosses did not give up easily. Around five of them swirled report and rumor: Dead Fascist. Handsome, bemedaled Ettore Muti had been the "incarnation of Fascismo's warlike spirit," according to Notizie di Roma. Lieutenant colonel and "ace" of the air force, he had served in Ethiopia, Spain, Albania, Greece. He had been Party secretary when Italy entered World War II. Now the Badoglio Government, pressing its purge of blackshirts, charged him with graft. Reported the Rome radio: Ettore Muti, whipping out a revolver, resisted arrest by the carabinieri. In a wood on Rome's outskirts a fusillade crackled. Ettore Muti fell dead. Die-Hard Fascist. Swarthy, vituperative Roberto Farinacci had been Fascismo's hellion. He had ranted against the democracies, baited Israel and the Church, flayed Fascist weaklings. Ex-Party secretary and ex-minister of state, he had escaped to Germany after Benito Mussolini's fall. Now, in exile, he was apparently building a Fascist Iron Guard. A Swiss rumor said that Roberto Farinacci had clandestine Nazi help, that he plotted a coup to restore blackshirt power, that he would become pezzo grosso (big shot) of northern Italy once the Germans openly took hold of the Po Valley. Craven Fascist. Tough, demagogic Carlo Scorza had been Fascismo's No. 1 purger. Up & down his Tuscan territory, his ghenga (corruption of "gang") had bullied and blackmailed.

  • Anti-Fascism and Italians in Australia, 1922-1945 Index Bibliography ISBN 0 7081 1158 0 1
    Although Italians had migrated to Australia since the middle of the nineteenth century, it was not until the 1920s that they became aware that they were a community in a foreign land, not just isolated individuals in search of fortune. Their political, cultural, economic and recreational associations became an important factor. Many of them, although settled in Australia, still thought of themselves as an appendage of Italy, a belief strengthened by Fascism’s nationalist propaganda which urged them to reject alien cultures, customs and traditions. The xenophobic hostility shown by some Australians greatly contributed to the success of these propaganda efforts. Moreover, the issue of Fascism in Italy was a contentious one among Italians in Australia, a large minority fighting with courage and determination against Fascism’s representatives in Australia. This broad study of Italian immigrants before and during World War II covers not only the effects of Fascism, but also records the ordeal of Italian settlers in the cities and the outback during the Depression and the difficulties they faced after the outbreak of the war. It deals with a subject that has long been neglected by scholars and is an important contribution to the history of Italian migrants in Australia.
