Comparative Fascism Studies

"Although fascist movements have been seen in almost all European countries and other parts of the world, there are only two countries that have been able to establish an independent, long-lasting and completely consolidated fascist regime. These are Mussolini's Italy and Hitler's Germany." When the concept of fascism is mentioned, two historical examples immediately come to mind; Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany. It is known that studies on fascism pay more attention to these regimes. However, could fixating fascism by focusing on two historical situations in which it came to power mean exceptionalizing it? Is it possible to examine fascism beyond a form of state and power? If possible, what kind of analytical tools can this be done? After all, is fascism merely the ideology of an apparatus of oppression and force imposed "from above", or is it, beyond that, a chain of multidimensionality that also activates the reactions or desires of "those below"? Comparative Studies on Fascism compiled by Constantin Iordachi, together with competent figures from different academic disciplines who keep their interest in fascism alive, addresses these questions from various analytical perspectives and on Vichy France, Stalin's Russia, Austria, Spain, Portugal, Hungary, Poland, Greece, He seeks answers and asks new questions from unique historical examples in Croatia, Slovakia and Romania. Without relegating fascism to a single level, without ignoring its "extraordinary appeal to the masses, the fanaticism it instilled in its followers, and its enormous political impact that resonates on today's politics"...
