Abstract

Our goal is to rethink the place that the initiatives of Spanish exiles should occupy in our apprehension of the European movement. Anti-fascist and anti-Stalinist expatriates, with the support of transatlantic intellectual and political networks, laid the foundations in the 1940s for a movement to vindicate federalism and the unification of Europe. The analysis of unpublished documents allows us to approach that essentially informal dimension of European construction. We will thus address the initiatives undertaken by some exiles in Mexico in collaboration with left-wing intellectuals living in New York (1940-1945); the efforts to establish a “third way”, independent of the two superpowers and anchored in the fusion of socialism and freedom (1945-1947); and the slow transformation of these initiatives into a more transversal and plural project, open to collaboration with other European movements (1948-1950).
