historie. Begrebet dobbeltstat leverer en læsenøgle til en verden af åbne og lukkede magtcentre, omfattende politiske partier, mafia, hemmelige loger, terrorisme, efterretningstjenester og paramilitære indsatsgrupper, der ikke afstod fra kupplaner og korruption i stor såvel som i lille målestok. Gert Sørensen, dr.phil., er lektor på Romansk Institut, Københavns Universitet. Han har bl.a udgivet Gramsci og den moderne verden (1993) og Kairos - Træk af humanisme og posthumanisme i italiensk kultur (2003) begge på Museum Tusculanums Forlag. English On the 16th March 1978, the Christian-Democratic leader Aldo Moro was abducted in the street in Rome by the Red Brigades. He was found murdered on the 9th May. Moro left behind in his confinement a political testament that today is regarded as an important document for the reconstruction of Italian inter-war history. The concept of double state is a clue to a world of open and closed centres of power, including political parties, mafia, secret lodges, terrorism, intelligence services and paramilitary groups who did not refrain from planning a coup nor from corruption on a large as well as a small scale. Gert Sørensen, Doctor of Philosophy, is a senior lecturer in the Department of Romance Studies at the University of Copenhagen. He has published, among other things, Gramsci og den moderne verden (Gramsci and the Modern World) in 1993 and Kairos - Træk af humanisme og posthumanisme i italiensk kultur (Kairos - Traits of Humanism and Posthumanism in Italian Culture) in 2003, both at Museum Tusculanum Press.Paperback versionForlagets emneord: Historie - Samfundsvidenskaberne og politik - Fascisme - Staten - Mafia - Magt - Terrorisme - Italien - Aldo Moro - 20. årh. - Dansk
