Le basi ideologiche dell'unità mondiale anglosassone

The special relationship between the five Anglo-Saxon countries (USA, UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand), established during the Second World War and still working nowadays (as the Datagate affair proves), has its ideological basis in a debate about the British Empire's constitution born in pre-independence North-American colonies in late 18th century and then continued in Great Britain during the 19th century. That debate, starting from whig constitutionalism, has subsequently embarked Romantic nationalism resulting in themes such as “Greater Britain” and “Imperial Federation”. By way of the Milnerite's Round Table, the original constitutional topic has come back in the US under a new guise of Anglo-Saxon nationalism.
