The Rise of the Left in Southern Europe: Anglo-American Responses

The Rise of the Left in Southern Europe

Anglo-American Responses

This study looks at the influence of the Anglo-American 'special relationship' on the rise of the left in southern Europe, and concurrent European influence on the Atlantic alliance. Before the Cold War, Britain and America looked upon the countries of southern Europe separately and without an overall strategy. During the 1960s and 70s the political situation changed, and Italy, Greece, Spain and Portugal were increasingly perceived as one entity. As the power of the left grew in the aftermath of the Second World War, these countries were beset with issues of authoritarianism versus democracy.
