War and Democracy – Labor and the Politics of Peace
Autor Elizabeth Kieren Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 aug 2021
Comparing Britain and Italy during and after World War I, Elizabeth Kier examines the different strategies each government used to mobilize labor for war and finds that total war did little to promote political, civil, or social rights in either country. Italian unions anticipated greater worker management and a land to the peasants program as a result of their wartime service; British labor believed its wartime sacrifices would be repaid with homes for heroes and the extension of social rights. But Italy's unjust and coercive policies radicalized Italian workers (prompting a fascist backlash) and Britain's just and conciliatory policies paradoxically undermined broader democratization in Britain. In critiquing the mainstream view that total war advances democracy, War and Democracy reveals how politics during the war transforms societal actors who become crucial to postwar political settlements and the prospects for democratic reform.
