L’articolo, basato su fonti della United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration e della Commissione alleata di controllo, analizza in prospettiva transnazionale l’uso del mito americano della pianificazione e delle competenze tecniche durante la seconda guerra mondiale. Le autorità militari alleate e il personale dell’UNRRA, usando l’Italia come un laboratorio sperimentale delle loro politiche, giocarono un ruolo essenziale nell’integrazione dell’area mediterranea, costruendo le premesse infrastrutturali, sociali, economiche a culturali per un nuovo ordine geopolitico e contribuendo a far sorgere un atteggiamento antipartitico in alcune élite della Repubblica italiana.
