The Role of Italy in the New European Order

Abstract

The end of the Cold War and dissolution of the Soviet Union has introduced a situation of great risk and uncertainty in Europe, as is demonstrated by a review of the political and economic difficulties of Eastern Europe. Several European security structures are attempting to calm and stabilize the situation, but it is not clear that any of them will suffice. In this cloudy situation, Italy will continue to support all structures that will help modernize and stabilize Europe. Italy will both support NATO while upgrading the WEU and working within the EC and CSCE. Occasional Italian initiatives to supplement these structures may be called for, such as the 'Pentagonale' approach and special relationships Italy has as a Mediterranean nation. An independent Italian policy, however, is out of the question.
