De Europa Vol. 2, No. 1 (2019), 7-17 ISSN 2611-853X www.deeuropa.unito.it Fear in international relations and in European integration Paolo Caraffini and Filippo Maria Giordano The papers collected in this special issue retrace the path that the concept of fear has taken during Europe’s process of regional integration over the last century, as viewed from the broader perspective of international relations and globalization. In particular, the authors focus on a number of cultural, political, social and economic aspects whereby we can see that fear, over time, has shaped how Europeans move on the international scene, and has transformed their own perception of Europe as well as outside observers’ ideas of the Old Continent’s historical role. From a number of angles, the papers in this issue explore fear in Western and European political thought and in the actions of political parties, movements or factions from the end of World War I to the present day, illustrating the ways in which such feelings have tinged much of the political thinking about the future of Europe and a new international order rooted in peace and the law. The authors offer many penetrating insights into how fear — together and concomitantly with the crisis of the nation state and growing economic interdependence (Morelli 2011: 21-29) — has marked many stages of European history, playing a prominent part in connection with the idea of the Continent’s unification after World War II and with the political-institutional model that the process of integration proposed. Arising from these premises in the 1950s, this process resulted in a solution to the Franco-German question, as Altiero Spinelli noted at the time: The fear factor, always present in political situations, played a very important role in the development of the European idea after the Second World War. Men and political forces who might have been hostile or indifferent to the idea of European unity understood clearly that this was the only way of giving Europe the necessary strength to preserve its independence. The traditional rivalries among European states, and especially between France and Germany, seemed now anachronistic (Spinelli 1957: 47). The papers will thus provide a grasp of the extent to which fear has played an active, and often decisive, role in recent European history, where it continues in both the long and the short term to exert a two-fold and conflicting influence: as a force that unites and as a force that divides. At times, the fears arriving from outside or those generated within Europe, alone or in combination, have sparked closer cooperation between the member states, opening routes to economic and political unification and integration; in other instances, they have encouraged more conservative strategies Paolo Caraffini, University of Turin, paolo.caraffi[email protected] Filippo Maria
