Gli americani e l'avvio del processo di trasformazione del Pci: il 1989 comunista nelle note della diplomazia Usa.

1989 marked a turning point in international history, with the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Cold War. In Italy, the secretary of the Communist Party, Achille Occhetto, underlines the need to redefine its identity, and this process will lead two years later, in 1991, to a new political force. The US State Department follows every step with interest and concern, trying to understand what consequences the beginning of the communist transformation could also have on American interests. This essay focuses on the interpretative line of the United States through the vision expressed by diplomats who lived and worked in Italy. [Publisher's Text].
