Sovereignty, Democracy and the Risk of Essentialism. Some Reflections on US-Italian Relations during the Cold War

Abstract

This article studies relations between Italy and the United States during the Cold War and the role played by the United States in the creation and history of the Italian Republic. It examines the many peculiarities of the highly asymmetrical relationship between Washington and Rome and its impact on Italian politics. Finally, it links the evolution of the Cold War and American foreign policy to the specific Italian context, attempting to thereby offer a periodization of the Cold War in Italy.
Cet article étudie les relations entre l’Italie et les États-Unis pendant la guerre froide, et le rôle joué par les États-Unis dans la formation et l’histoire de la République italienne. Il examine les nombreuses spécificités d’une relation fortement asymétrique, celle entre Washington et Rome, et son impact sur la politique italienne. Enfin, il lie l’évolution de la guerre froide et de la politique étrangère des États-Unis au contexte italien particulier, essayant de proposer une périodisation de la guerre froide en Italie.
