En este texto se analizan las relaciones del Partido Socialista de Uruguay (PSU) con la Internacional Socialista (IS) desde 1951 hasta 1999. La IS es la organización que agrupa a partidos ...socialistas, socialdemócratas y laboristas de todo el mundo y el PSU es uno de los más antiguos e importantes partidos socialistas de América Latina. Para facilitar el análisis y la presentación de hechos ocurridos en un lapso de tiempo tan prolongado, el trabajo se divide en tres partes. La primera transcurre desde el fin de la Segunda Guerra Mundial hasta la primera ruptura del PS con la IS en 1963. La segunda parte comienza en 1963 y se mantiene hasta 1976, cuando la IS abandona el periodo de crisis y decadencia que vivía. El tercer momento (1976-1999) comienza con la presidencia de Willy Brandt en la IS y finaliza con la reincorporación del PSU a la IS. Finalmente, se realiza una síntesis para señalar algunas tendencias y ofrecer conclusiones generales. Keywords: Socialdemocracia, Internacional Socialista, Uruguay, Socialismo uruguayo, Frugoni
The article sheds light on the significant and understudied bond between West German Chancellor and Nobel Peace Laureate Willy Brandt and Spanish President Felipe González. It is based on interviews ...with senior policy makers; archival material from the Ebert Foundation in Bonn; fresh material from Austria, Spain, Sweden, Portugal and the United States, and exclusive additional private papers. Drawing on these sources, the article identifies the three key political-intellectual pillars – democracy, social democracy and internationalism – that sustained their special ‘father–son’ relationship and discusses their shared desire to project their brand of socialism across Europe and the world. In doing so, it also sheds light on how personal guidance, assistance and exchange, linked with institutional support, contributed to the expansion of democracy and social democracy in the late Cold War.
Purpose

Findings
The efforts recommended are vital for preserving the human species and ensuring the integrity of our planet. For both the future of the human species and the planet itself, it is essential to reduce the divide between wealthy and poor. Now is the time to give force to the types of implementation necessary to meet these combined goals.
Research limitations/implications
This essay avoids dissecting problems of current geopolitical and ideological character. Despite their sometimes contentious nature, they are often reduced by intelligent diplomacy.
Originality/value
The study proposes a holistic approach to bridging the North-South divide.
West Germany's record of dealing with National Socialism is often held up as a model to be emulated by states emerging out of war and mass crimes. This article traces the application of the German ...model to contemporary Serbia, as represented by the two tropes of "Nuremberg" (justice) and "Willy Brandt's Kniefall" (apology). It argues that both events were divorced from their own historical circumstances and presented as contemporaneous elements of a model that set unrealistic normative benchmarks when applied to the Serbian national context. Placing Germany's process of postwar memory construction in a historical and comparative light, rather than viewing it as an ideal-typical model to be emulated, provides a more productive way of analyzing the complexities of national memory processes in post-conflict states.
« Relations normales au caractère particulier » aux yeux du chancelier Willy Brandt en 1973, les relations germano-israéliennes « ne seront jamais normales », estime toujours Shimon Pérès en 1995. ...Dans les années 1980-1990 marquées par le long règne du chrétien-démocrate Helmut Kohl et deux gouvernements à dominante social-démocrate, elles sont principalement marquées par la continuité : les liens étroits et particuliers, « entre morale et Realpolitik » (Y. Jelinek), sont dominés par le passé et l’engagement (ouest-) allemand en faveur de la sécurité d’Israël. La RFA n’en demeure pas moins soucieuse de préserver les relations germano-arabes, en particulier germano-palestiniennes. Après ces deux décennies, l’accession de la RFA à une plus grande souveraineté, l’éloignement du passé nazi, les bouleversements géopolitiques mondiaux et régionaux suscitent, un temps, la volonté en Allemagne de redéfinir, diversifier et, en un sens, normaliser ses relations au Moyen-Orient. Mais le blocage du processus de paix et un impératif de mémoire plus important que jamais, fréquemment rappelé par la partie israélienne, imposent un retour, in fine , au statu quo ante .
