International Fascism: Theories, Causes and the New Consensus

Front Cover
Principal Lecturer in the Department of History Roger Griffin, Roger Griffin
Arnold, 1998 - Philosophy - 334 pages
This reader focuses on the definition and ideology of generic fascism, bringing together articles, essays, and political writings by several key figures to lay bare the structural affinity that relates fascism not only to Nazism but to the many failed fascist movements that surfaced ininter-war Europe and elsewhere. In both his introduction and his editorial commentary Griffin locates the driving force behind all fascist movements in a distinctive utopian myth, that of the regenerated national community, destined to rise up from the ashes of a decadent society.
