The reaction against the New Deal of Roosevelt & Truman, the fear of increased power of the State, the hostility toward ai planned society, the present prosperity of the US--these factors have favored the rebirth of a conservative ideology. Conservative Americans are not, however, senseless & reactionary defenders of laissez faire & of isolationism. Their pessimistic view of human nature, their distrust of abstract solutions, & their respect for past experience push them toward a decentralized & hierarchical state. Can this conservative ideology, which has had considerable success in US intellectual circles & in the Republican group around President Eisenhower, become an effective pol'al force? Circumstances are favorable for such a development, but against it are the egalitarianism & the belief in human achievement that are deeply rooted in the conscience of the American masses. Tr by J. A. Broussard from IPSA.

The article is based on an analysis of certain aspects of how the public opinion of selected nations in years 2001–2016 perceived the American foreign policy and the images of two Presidents of the United States (George W. Bush, Barack Obama). In order to achieve these research goals some polling indicators were constructed. They are linked with empirical assessments related to the foreign policy of the U.S. and the political activity of two Presidents of the United States of America which are constructed by nations in three segments of the world system. Results of the analysis confirmed the research hypotheses. The position of a given nation in the structure of the world system influenced the dynamics of perception and the directions of empirical assessments (positive/negative) of that nation's public opinion about the USA.

Reviews research conducted by professor Luigi Guarnieri Calo Carducci, particularly two essays he wrote on Italian immigration in Bolivia & Ecuador. The research analyzed data from the early 20th century to the end of the 1950s, which showed that Italian communities have helped shaping Bolivian & Ecuadorian rural economy & military structure, contributing also to the improvement of foreign policy. The Italian government supported most communities in an attempt to establish political connections, but many of those communities found a safe haven when Italy was persecuting them, especially Jewish communities during 1938. Above all, the contribution offered by Italian missionaries is of notable importance as it deeply affected both societies. The analysis reveals very interesting biographical & historical facts that are extremely useful when studying Italian realities outside of Italy from a modern perspective.
