Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Johns Hopkins University, 1990.

This dissertation examines the evolution of Italy's grand strategy in the Mediterranean, and its influence on national security, foreign and domestic policies in the 1859-1989 period. Since national independence in 1859-61, the correlation between diplomacy, military doctrines and naval thought in the relentless attempt to emerge as a major regional Power, has provided a certain underlining continuity in Italy's strategic policy. Yet cyclically, foreign and domestic political pressures both propelled and restrained Italy's efforts to attain national security and regional pre-eminence in the Mediterranean basin.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This dissertation examines the evolution of Italy's grand strategy in the Mediterranean, and its influence on national security, foreign and domestic policies in the 1859-1989 period. Since national independence in 1859-61, the correlation between diplomacy, military doctrines and naval thought in the relentless attempt to emerge as a major regional Power, has provided a certain underlining continuity in Italy's strategic policy. Yet cyclically, foreign and domestic political pressures both propelled and restrained Italy's efforts to attain national security and regional pre-eminence in the Mediterranean basin.
520 $a The dissertation is divided into four parts, each comparing the evolution and application of Italy's diplomatic, security and naval policies in the Early-Liberal (1850s-1896), Late-Liberal (1896-1922) and Fascist eras (1922-45), with those emerging now in the most recent "Atlantic" period (1945-90s), characterized by Italy's 'renewal' as a Mediterranean Power. Each historical era (1859-1896; 1896-1922; 1922-1943; 1943-1990s) wrestled with similar issues of national security, Mediterranean strategy, domestic and international constraints, all of which sidetracked in the end the attainment of Italy's strategic objectives. The thesis therefore shows how Italy was forced to build a fragile grand strategy, which depended on goal-realization (alliance-building, diplomatic maneuverings; naval arms and technological races) without the resort to general war (or war with a major Power which was impossible given Italy's relative economic backwardness and poverty).
520 $a Instead, this apparently successful, dazzling balancing act of diplomacy, naval strategy and prestigious naval construction programs, although capable at times to secure international advantages and the appearance of domestic political consensus, only helped to obscure in the end the elusiveness and risks of Italy's security equation when national goals of Mediterranean pre-eminence clashed with the interests of older Greater Powers.
