In 1958, A.J.P. Taylor's essay The Troublemakers explored the tradition of dissent against power politics in the United Kingdom. Gaetano Salvemini, who had always shown a consistent interest in British political and cultural debates, shared many of the positions put forward by these ‘troublemakers’, such as free trade, the fight against military expenditure, and suspicions regarding standing armies. At the outbreak of the First World War, Salvemini used these arguments to support Italy's involvement in the war against autocratic and militarist central powers. Salvemini's journal L'Unità reported the stances expressed by a ‘troublemaker network’ called the Union of Democratic Control, despite their criticism of the United Kingdom's line of action during the war. In the course of the conflict, Salvemini kept in close contact with a specific group of ‘troublemakers’ around Robert Seton-Watson's journal The New Europe. Salvemini championed The New Europe's fight for subject nationalities in the Habsburg Empire, though he criticised their support of Yugoslavian claims to Istria, Trieste and Venezia Giulia. This essay will focus on the complex relationship between Salvemini and these British ‘troublemakers’ through the former's writings and correspondence.

1958 年，AJP 泰勒的文章《麻烦制造者》探讨了英国反对强权政治的异议传统。加埃塔诺·萨尔维米尼一直对英国的政治和文化辩论表现出一贯的兴趣，他赞同这些“麻烦制造者”提出的许多立场，例如自由贸易、反对军费开支以及对常备军的怀疑。第一次世界大战爆发时，萨尔维米尼利用这些论点支持意大利参与反对独裁和军国主义中央国家的战争。萨尔维米尼的期刊《团结报》报道了一个名为“民主控制联盟”的“麻烦制造者网络”所表达的立场，尽管他们批评了英国在战争期间的行动路线。在冲突过程中，萨尔维米尼与罗伯特·西顿·沃森的期刊《新欧洲》周围的一个特定“麻烦制造者”团体保持着密切联系。萨尔维米尼支持新欧洲为哈布斯堡帝国的附属民族而进行的斗争，尽管他批评他们支持南斯拉夫对伊斯特拉、的里雅斯特和威尼斯朱利亚的主权要求。本文将通过萨尔维米尼的著作和信件，重点探讨萨尔维米尼与这些英国“麻烦制造者”之间的复杂关系。
