Un nuovo ordine fra Stato e società. Recenti ricerche sul corporativismo

The search for a new order between State and society. On the subject of some recent studies on corporatism
The theoretic and practical experience of corporatism has recently been at the centre of a renewed historiographical interest. This paper retraces the corporative theory’s alternating fortunes, highlighting the main features of one of the most important chapters in the legal and political history of Europe between the two World Wars. As recent studies show, corporatism was more than just a rhetorical and ideological theory at authoritarian governments’ disposal; in its most advanced versions, it constituted the effort of bringing together classical models of the order of State and Society.
