No full textThe Seventies witnessed a «revival» of French liberalism thanks to the crucial figure of Raymond Aron, his intellectual network and two journals, «Contrepoint» and later on «Commentaire». This essay traces the origins of the two journals and studies how this group of intellectuals - not committed to any systematic work on political theory, but simply to the preservation of liberties in day-by-day politics - reassessed the international context as the main source of threats to freedom. They debated some crucial issues in a decade marked by the détente and the end of de Gaulle's diplomacy: the nature of the Soviet Union; the American foreign policy; the role of France and the one of Europe on the international stage. Especially, in their view common defense and the meaning to be given to Western democracies were crucial features of the building of Europe. These debates shaped a liberalism which was engaged in an anti-Marxist «war of ideas», which paid specific attention on the debate over totalitarianism and which investigated the international links of the French communist party, the problems of defense and of the moral survival of Western democracies
The Green is the New Red? A Libertarian Challenge: The Radicals and the Friends of the Earth Italy, 1976–1983
No full textThis paper focuses on Italian libertarian and anti-authoritarian environmentalism, embodied at the political level by the Radical Party and by a small organization linked to it, the Amici della Terra, the Italian section of Friends of the Earth. It aims at highlighting their role within the environmentalist galaxy of associations, movements and committees and at studying their political strategy, the peculiarities of their cultural and political contribution to the Green movement, but also their clashes with the other components.
The paper analyses the Radical Party and Amici della Terra's support for anti-nuclear mobilizations in the late 1970s, especially against the construction of a nuclear plant in Montalto di Castro; how they provided a political outlet for many animal-rights movements and contributed to bringing conservationist associations closer to politics; and how they tried to build international links with other Green parties and associations. The paper highlights some political and ideological clashes between Radical environmentalism and the so-called ‘Red ecology’ around the referendum against nuclear power plants, the anti-hunting referendum and the mobilization for peace and the Amici della Terra's proposal to create local Green Lists. Thus it aims at adding a political interpretation to the cultural one – suggested by scholars – of the delay in the development of a Green party in Italy compared to other Western European countries
Il “disastro” di Suez nel dibattito pubblico francese: crisi del socialismo, dell’élite politica e dell’identità francese
No full textL'obiezione di coscienza come battaglia antimilitarista. Il Partito radicale dagli anni Sessanta al 1972
No full textThis essay aims to analyse the main attitudes and concepts underlying the anti-militarism of the "new" Radical Party (Pr), and to outline the reasons that led the Radicals to embrace conscientious objection as a political objective. In the years 1961-1968, the Radicals elaborated their own anti-militarist position, picking up reflections and concepts from Anglo-Saxon anti-nuclearism and Italian pacifism. They aimed to overcome the positions of national neutralism in favour of a bilateral plan for conventional and atomic disarmament in Europe. At the end of the Sixties, the battle for the legal recognition of conscientious objection became a qualifying feature of the Pr. The Radicals identified the refusal to serve in the army as a fundamental right of the individual. A right that could powerfully contribute to the disruption of military structures and then to the dismantling of the "regime". The Radicals played a crucial role first in making such issue a salient one for the general public, and then in pressing the Italian Parliament to approve the conscientious objection law (Law 772) in 1972
À la recherche d’une politique européenne alternative : le sénateur Michel Debré et ses interlocuteurs britanniques, 1948-1958
No full textPendant la IVe République, la réflexion et l’activité politiques de Michel Debré, qui siégea au Conseil de la République de 1948 à 1958, se concentrèrent avant tout sur la question de l’Europe et de sa construction. Bien que convaincu de la nécessité d’organiser l’Europe, Debré s’éloigna progressivement de sa construction telle qu’elle se mettait en place et finit par combattre durement les traités proposés par les diplomaties occidentales. Puisque la France n’avait plus, à son avis, de politique étrangère et puisque ce qui pouvait influencer la politique de la France étaient les pressions et surtout l’attitude de l’Angleterre, il essaya, avec un certain succès, d’établir un solide dialogue avec les hommes du Gouvernement de sa Majesté – in primis Duncan Sandys and Julian Amery – afin de l’amener à modifier ses positions européennes et à influencer la politique extérieure de la France
