Association Football in St. John's
Twice lost in translation, or what referee Dattilo really said to Colombo in the greatest upset in World Cup history, England v U.S.A. 1950
This paper offers an explanation of an episode that took place in a 1950 World Cup game that saw the US defeat England by 1–0. It focuses on a linguistic misunderstanding between Italian referee Generoso Dattilo and US centre back Charles Colombo, an Italian-American from St. Louis. More precisely, the paper offers an explanation of what referee Dattilo said to Colombo following a rugby-like foul committed by the latter on English forward Stanley…
(Association) Football and Newfoundland’s national identity
This article shows how (Association) football contributed to the development of a Newfoundland national identity in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. Some clubs, the Natives and later Terra Nova and Cabot, went even further: they sought to overcome denominational cleavages, something the Newfoundland Natives’ Society had tried to do in the political field in the 1840s. In the end, their effort was unsuccessful because football on the is…
Continuity and change in Italian foreign policy
This article is a contribution to the academic debate concerning continuity and change in Italian foreign policy during the so-called Second Republic. After identifying the variables affecting continuity and change in foreign policy, this article focuses on one recent Italian foreign policy case, namely the intervention in Libya. It argues that the choices taken by the centre-right coalition government headed by Berlusconi were based on enduring …
Introduction
The international role and status of Italy among international powers has been an issue of debate in both the political and the academic context. What has never been systematically investigated is the way in which other powers with which Italy interacts in institutional contexts perceive Italy and its international role. It is the aim of this special issue to provide an overview of how Italy is perceived abroad. This introduction explains why it …
A nice place to visit
This article analyses Canadian perceptions of Italy at the governmental and societal levels. It argues that Canadians pay relatively little attention to things Italian and that their images of Italy are somewhat stereotypical. Italian politics do not receive much attention and when they do, domestic political aspects prevail over foreign policy ones. The Canadian press represents Italy as a country with a cultural and artistic past, an economic s…
The second Prodi government and Italian foreign policy
This article examines whether Italian foreign policy has undergone significant and substantial changes under the second Prodi government. The first part identifies the variables affecting continuity and change in a country's foreign policy and addresses the question of the conditions under which one can expect changes as a result of a change in government, and the conditions under which continuity is instead more likely. The second part looks at …
Italian foreign policy after the end of the cold war
A number of academics have argued that the last two governments headed by Silvio Berlusconi1 have attempted to strengthen the relationship with the USA on a bilateral basis and, in so doing, have w
The ‘Americanization’ of Italian foreign policy
This article examines the Italian foreign policy of the second Berlusconi government. The first section focuses on the episodes that critics have used to argue that, under the second Berlusconi government, there has occurred a process of 'Americanization' of Italian foreign policy, and provides an interpretation of their significance. The second section looks at these episodes against the historical background of Italian – American relations sinc…
Much Ado about Little
This article provides a review and an assessment of the foreign policy of the second Berlusconi government. The first section summarizes the changes Italian foreign policy underwent at the end of the Cold War. The second focuses on the question of continuity and change regarding the two traditional pillars of Italian foreign policy, the European Union and the Atlantic Alliance, during the second Berlusconi government's time in office. The article…
Italian Security Policy after the Cold War
This article analyses the main trends in Italian security policy in the post-Cold War period. After a brief look at changes in the Italian perceptions of threat, it examines Italian policies within the UN, NATO and the EU, paying particular attention to how Italian decision makers conceive the relationship among these three organizations, especially with respect to the management of regional crises. The article then turns to examine and assess th…
Language and politics in Italy
The article posits the existence of a nexus between some language dimensions on the one hand, and the type of party system and degree of electoral volatility on the other. The first part dissects the old language of Italian politics, these days contemptuously referred to as politichese , and argues that its cryptic character can be properly understood only if seen against both the functional requirements and systemic constraints of the Italian po…
Guilt, context and the historian
In a recent issue of Modern Italy, Sarah Morgan has offered an analysis of the Schio killings ( eccidio di Schio ) of July 1945 by means of a ‘constructivist’ approach. 1 She compares the narratives of events provided by the Communist party (PCI), the Allied Military Government (AMG), and partisans and partisan organizations, and shows how each narrative was related to different political interests and preoccupations. Thus, the PCI, which was pri…

Soccer in the age of globalization
From the beaches of Rio de Janeiro, through the street of Naples, to the dried‐up riverbeds of Cameroon, soccer is undergoing a remarkable transformation. Traditionally the object of a collective passion and a source of local and national identity, soccer clubs are increasingly turning into publicly owned stock companies responding to the logic of the market. As such, they are selling an increasing array of commodities (no longer simply the socce…
