Abstract
The end of the Second World War unfolded a completely new scenario for the Italian state in which decolonization, pro-Arab politics, Atlanticism and Neoatlanticism would be the protagonists of foreign policy. Behind an ambiguous "anticolonial turn", Italy built a policy of proximity to the Arab-Mediterranean region, as part of a broader attempt to position itself as mediator between the West and this geographical area. The consolidation of this strategy ubsequently allowed Rome to lay the foundations for a policy of Atlantic revisionism, also known as Neoatlanticism, with the aim of putting an end to Italian subordination within Nato and claiming a greater presence in the Mediterranean.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
