L'Internationale socialiste et les partis socialistes exilés du bloc communiste

Neglected by the Socialist Internationale (SI) for the sake of peace, the exiled socialist parties of eastern Europe had to wait till the Soviet Union's collapse and the end of the Cold War before joining the SI. Among these organizations, the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) stood out owing to its worldwide network and its long past as an organized party. The old but ambiguous relations between the ARF and the SI revolved around the architecture of international relations, the evolution of democratic socialism and the development of the Armenian question. The SI was always wary of the sort of socialism advocated by the ARF, which it saw less as a socialist movement than as a nationalistic party. For the ARF, the SI was mainly a forum where it could advance the Armenian question and where international socialism could shine. Changes in the turbulent relations between these two organizations is analyzed from 1951, when the SI was created, till our times
