The protest movements in the US and in Western \nEurope had as p rimary\ntargets of their activities\, not only their own governments\, but also \ntheir foreign policies. The\nprotest against US involvement in Vie tnam shaped the second half of the \n1960s and the first half of\nthe 1970 s and\, although local Western Communist parties played an \nimportant rol e in organizing\nmanifestations (e.g. pro North Vietnam campaigns)\, the i mpact was wider \nand deeper than what\nthe Communist parties could achiev e. Moreover the Vietnam war was not \nthe only international\nissue which characterised the interest of the protest movements and \ntheir initiative s involved\nopposition to other forms of western “imperialism”\, the activ ities \nnon-governmental bodies such\nas the multinationals\, the survival of fascist regimes in Europe (e.g. \nSpain and Portugal) or the\ncreation of right-wing military regimes in Europe and in Latin America \n(e.g. Gre ece and Chile)\,\nneo-colonialism\, etc.\n\nMoreover some protest movement s bordered or had some contacts with \nminority groups which\nadvocated vi olent forms of “resistance” against “international \nimperialism” and terr orist\norganizations were active in various parts of the world and develop ed \nsome cooperation.\nLast but not least\, during the 1970s and the earl y 1980s\, also as a \nconsequence of the economic\ncrisis and of the growi ng consciousness of the environmental problems \nposed by previous\neconom ic growth\, protest movements began to focus their attention on \nissues s uch as pollution\,\nthe consequence of the exploitation of nuclear energy\ , etc.\nNew political actors emerged in the international arena\, constitu ting a \nwatershed in terms of\npolitical and cultural identities\, as wel l as new ways to do politics.\nThe workshop aims at analysing the internat ional political culture of \nprotest actors that emerged in\nthe period be tween the late 1960s and the early 1980s\, focusing on the \nItalian case but also on\nEuropean and non-European study cases\, in a comparative pers pective.\nThe initiative\, pursued by the Department of Political Sciences \, Law and \nInternational Studies of\nthe University of Padua\, is the se cond event of a wider project which \naims at networking junior\nand senio r scholars who are working on such a topic.\n\nThe network already include s scholars from the University of Bologna – \nForlì\, the University of\nA ugsburg\, the New York University\, SciencesPo Paris\, LUISS University Rome and IMT Lucca\,\nBruno Kessler Foundation Trento\, Gramsci Institute Rome\, European \nUniversity Institute Florence\,\nand the University of P adua.\n\nThe working languages will be English and Italian.\n\nThe Scienti fic Committee is committed to the publication of papers’ \nselection\, bas ed on scientific\ncriteria.\n\nApplicants should submit to valentine.lomel lini@unipd.it and \nantonio.varsori@unipd.it by 31 July\n2012\, a single W ord or PDF file containing 400-word (about 2000 \ncharacters) abstract of the\nproposed research paper and a brief academic CV.
