This edited collection offers the first systematic account in
English of Italy's international position from Caporetto - a major
turning-point in Italy's participation in the First World War - to
the end of the liberal regime in Italy in 1922. It shows that after
the 'Great War', not only did Italy establish itself as a regional
power but also achieved its post-unification ambition to be
recognised, at least from a formal viewpoint, as a great power.
This subject is addressed through multiple perspectives, covering
Italy's relations and mutual perceptions vis-a-vis the Allies, the
vanquished nations, and the 'New Europe'. Fourteen contributions by
leading historians reappraise Italy's role in the construction of
the post-war international order, drawing on extensive
multi-archival and multi-national research, combining for the first
time documents from American, Austrian, British, French, German,
Italian, Russian and former Yugoslav archives.
The disintegration of Yugoslavia in the early 1990s is often
described as the starting-point of the EEC/EU involvement in
Western Balkan politics, as if no political relations had developed
between the EEC and Yugoslavia during the Cold War era. Instead,
this book shows that the origin of EEC-Yugoslav relations must be
placed in the crucial decade of the 1970s. Contrary to received
opinion, this work demonstrates that relations between the EEC and
Yugoslavia were grounded on a strong political rationale which was
closely linked to the evolution of the Cold War in Europe and the
Mediterranean. The main argument is that relations between the two
parties were primarily influenced by the need to prevent the
expansion of Soviet influence in the Balkans and to foster detente
in Europe.

This edited collection offers a new approach to the study of
Italy's foreign policy from the 1960s to the end of the Cold War,
highlighting its complex and sometimes ambiguous goals, due to the
intricacies of its internal system and delicate position in the
fault line of the East-West and North-South divides. According to
received opinion, during the Cold War era Italy was more an object
rather than a factor in active foreign policy, limiting itself to
paying lip service to the Western alliance and the European
integration process, without any pretension to exerting a
substantial international influence. Eleven contributions by
leading Italian historians reappraise Italy's international role,
addressing three complex and intertwined issues, namely, the
country's political-diplomatic dimension; the economic factors
affecting Rome's international stance; and Italy's role in new
approaches to the international system and the influence of
political parties' cultures in the nation's foreign policy.
