FRENCH INSTITUTIONS
Values and Politics
By Saul K. Padover with collaboration from Francois Goguel, Louis Rosenstock-Franck, and Eric Weil
Publishered in 1947, this is one of a group of four related studies on French politics and society planned for the Hoover Institute Studies. This group also includes a study of national character by Rhoda Metraux and Margaret Mead, and two studies of French political symbolism and elites by Daniel Lerner and the RADIR staff. These, together with Mr. Padover's study of French political institutions and values, may give the reader an overview of the dynamics of modern France as a participant in the world political community.
Dean Padover's volume, worked out in collaboration with three prominent French scholars, surveys the conflicting values in the traditions of the French Revolution and French conservatism. It then examines what has happened to these values under the impact of twentieth-century social problems, war, and defeat. This study was initiated as part of the RADIR Project (Revolution and the Development of International Relations), of which
Mr. Padover was a consultant.

The Italian Christian Democratic Party has emerged as one of the most important and enduring governing parties of postwar Europe, and a mainstay of the Western alliance. Since the proclamation of the Italian Republic in 1946, the party has dominated each successive government, giving the Catholic Church immense prestige and influence in Italian affairs. This is the first full-length study in English of the background of the party, and of the development of autonomous Catholic social and political movements in Italy.
The first Catholic protest movements began in the nineteenth century, and continued until the failure of the Popular Party and the triumph of Fascism after World War I. Under the Fascist Regime, a new generation of Catholic leaders appeared, emerging from the Catholic Action groups. These groups enjoyed at best a grudging toleration, and were able to exist only under papal protection. Of particular importance to this new Catholic generation was the emergence as a strong leader of Alcide De Gasperi, the "exile of the Vatican."
The narrative concludes with the rise of the new Christian Democratic Party of 1943 and the return of De Gasperi to Italian politics during World War II, as the fascist regime collapsed. A brief summary of the most important postwar developments in Italy has been provided to bring the story up to date.
This study has implications reaching far beyond the limits of Italian history, reflecting as it does on such contemporary questions as the compatibility between Catholicism and modern democracy, and the possible ties between Catholic statesmen and the Church hierarchy.
Mr. Webster is Assistant Professor of History at the University of California, Berkeley.
