Research Abstract |
We set out to examine both the evolution of the Cold war and the growth of the politicl system in postwar Europe. Then we attempted to determine whether or not the interrelationship existed between these two developments, or the extent to which the interaction between the two took place. The countries we chose -- France, Italy, Czechoslovakia and Hungary -- all shared a common postwar experience : these countries, following the outbreak of World War II, saw the formation of anti-Nazi "popular fronts," which, towards the end of the war, were transformed into "coalition governments." By 1947-48 particular political forces had consolidated their power and established themselves as dominant forces in the governments. As it happened, during the very same period the cold war intensified. When the early history of the cold war is superimposed on the postwar political development of the four European contries, a few observations can be made : (1) These countries had their own internal problems to be solved even before the war. And we found it necessary to understand the domestic political developments in these countries after the war -- from the viewpoint of "continuity" between the prewar and the postwar years ; (2) While we need to see these "indigenous dynamics" contained in the historical development of these countries, we also need to see a possible interaction between the "inner foroes" and the "outer forces" in shaping the political systems in Europe.
