This article questions the definition of a fascist organization settled abroad: the Casa d’Italia – House of Italy -, analyzing its institutional and constitutional development. The author reviews the political affair which brought to the creation in the ’20s of the fasci all’estero – Fascist abroad – and to the elaboration of the „Case d’Italia“ in the ’30s. She focuses on the creation of the „Direzione degli italiani all’estero“ – Directions of Italians abroad – at Foreign ministry, that institutionalized and gave definition and centralization to the „Case d’Italia“. In France (country of the analysis), more than fifty „Case d’Italia“ were built from 1928 to 1938. But most of them were not achieved in terms of organisation, services and structures. The most complete ones are located along the Italian border and in the areas of Italian high emigration. The Casa d’Italia was not only a place where Italian expatriates could looking for assistance, but it also became the symbol of Fascist Italy abroad and reached a new dimension that transformed it into a „temple“ of fascist ideology through decorations, architectures, symbols and festivities.

In this paper it is studied the formation of left and right political spaces in Spain during the twentieth century, especially on two stages: the ’30s, since the proclamation of the Second Republic in 1931 until the end of Civil War in 1939 (the terms left and right are then normally incorporated in the partisan denominations); and the democratic transition of current Spain from 1975 to 2012. Both cases emphasize the difficulty to develop a centre political space and a certain polarization. In the first case this situation led to war. In the second case has articulated a permanent opposition which, although it has changed in nature, it is still ruled by the right-left axis.

Vincent DuclertThe recent presidential elections in 2012 have shown that left-right cleavage was still dominant in France. The redistribution of political forces, strongly awaited by the center (but also by the extremes) did not take place. At the same…
