El artículo analiza, en perspectiva transnacional, el uso de los mitos norteamericanos de la planificación y de la competencia técnica durante la segunda guerra mundial, por medio de las fuentes de la Administración de las Naciones Unidas para el Auxilio y la Rehabilitación (UNRRA) y del Consejo de Control Aliado. Las autoridades militares aliadas y los equipos de la UNRRA utilizaron a Italia como un laboratorio para experimentar sus políticas, desempeñaron un papel fundamental para la integración del área del Mediterráneo, construyeron las premisas infraestructurales, sociales, económicas y culturales de un nuevo orden geopolítico y ofrecieron su contribución para el nacimiento de una actitud antipartido en algunas de las élites de la Italia republicana. L’articolo, basato su fonti della United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration e della Commissione alleata di controllo, analizza in prospettiva transnazionale l’uso del mito americano della pianificazione e delle competenze tecniche durante la seconda guerra mondiale. Le autorità militari alleate e il personale dell’UNRRA, usando l’Italia come un laboratorio sperimentale delle loro politiche, giocarono un ruolo essenziale nell’integrazione dell’area mediterranea, costruendo le premesse infrastrutturali, sociali, economiche a culturali per un nuovo ordine geopolitico e contribuendo a far sorgere un atteggiamento antipartitico in alcune élite della Repubblica italiana. |
