World conferences of the Communist parties

The cycle of the World conferences of the Communist parties is the form which the international communist Mouvement takes in the Années 1960.

Nature of the conferences

The cycle of the conferences which characterizes the international communist movement for this period is the focal point of the internal struggles within world Communism. Their preparation, their day order, their behavior or their cancellation are the resultant of the tensions which appear increasingly numerous, between Soviet PC and the Chinese Communist party on the one hand, then between the reforming PC (led by the Italian Communist party) and the centralism of Moscow.
