Italian to English: Organized Motorcycle Gangs
General field: Other

Source text - Italian
Nonostante le difficoltà dovute alla Grande Depressione, proprio in questi anni, per la precisione nel 1936, si registra la nascita del gruppo Outlaw MC, associazione che segnerà in modo permanente la storia del motociclismo americano negli anni avvenire.
L’evento però che ha condizionato radicalmente il motociclismo Usa è stata la II WW. Al termine di questa infatti un insieme di reduci per lo più giovanissimi si riversarono sulle strade americane, spaesati, senza meta e incapaci di tornare a vivere quella normalità ormai persa per sempre. Allo stesso tempo questi ragazzi avevano appreso durante la guerra, senso di fratellanza, cameratismo tipicamente militare e il rispetto delle gerarchie, valori non facilmente replicabili nel vivere quotidiano.
Proprio questa traumatica esperienza comportò la proliferazione di nuovi club motociclistici, dove i veterani potevano rivivere quelle sensazioni forti del quinquennio 40-45, in sella a moto americane simili a quelle che avevano guidato oltreoceano.

Despite the difficulties due to the Great Depression, in this period (precisely in 1936) the Outlaw MC was founded, an organization that left a permanent mark on the history of American motorcycling. However, the event that drastically conditioned this field in the USA was the II World War. At the end of the War, many young American soldiers came home disoriented, aimless, unable to return to their normal lives, lost forever. At the same time, these boys developed a sense of brotherhood, a typical military comradeship and respect for hierarchies, values that were difficult to find in their daily lives. It was this traumatic experience that led to a spreading of motorcycle clubs, where the veterans could relive the strong feelings of the five-year period (1940-45) that they spent overseas, getting into saddles similar to the ones they rode in war.

U.S. Foreign Policy:
Democratic Enlargement
Branislav L. Slantchev
Department of Political Science, University of California, San Diego
Last updated: February 24, 2016 Bill Clinton was the first American president whose tenure in office lay entirely after the Cold War. If his predecessor’s foreign policy was (uncharitably) characterized
as “process without purpose”, Clinton’s would be characterized as “purpose without process.”1 If his predecessor had relied on the power of the American military and on the strength of America’s alliances in his regional defense strategy, Clinton would rely on soft power — America would lead by example through the what was believed to be an emerging consensus in world opinion that liberal political systems and free markets were the only proven path to prosperity and peace.
To this end, the U.S. would support the consolidation of new democracies and free markets and counter attempts to subvert them while simultaneously working through international multilateral institutions.		Translation - Italian
Politica estera degli Stati Uniti:
l'ampliamento Democratico.

Branislav L. Slantchev.
Dipartimento di Scienze Politiche, Università della California, San Diego.
Ultimo aggiornamento: 24 febbraio 2016.

Bill Clinton è stato il primo presidente americano in carica dopo la Guerra Fredda. Se la politica estera del suo predecessore si può definire (volendo essere severi) caratterizzata da "programmi senza obiettivi", quella di Clinton è stata invece contraddistinta da "obiettivi senza programmi". Dove il suo predecessore aveva fatto affidamento sulla potenza militare e sulla forza delle alleanze americane nell'ottica di una strategia di difesa locale, Clinton fece invece affidamento sul "soft power". L'America doveva essere un esempio, secondo quella che sembrava essere un'opinione sempre più diffusa e accettata nel panorama mondiale, ovvero che il sistema politico liberale e il libero mercato fossero l'unica strada certa che portasse alla prosperità e la pace. A tal fine, l'America avrebbe appoggiato il consolidamento di nuove democrazie e di liberi mercati e si sarebbe opposta ai tentativi di opposizione lavorando, allo stesso tempo, tramite istituzioni internazionali multilaterali.
