| Title |
Leader Cult, Violence and National Purity. The Rise of Fascism in the Interwar Period |
| Description |
In the interwar period, Fascist movements rose in various European and non-European countries. They were often characterised by a distinct leader cult, radical nationalism and a great propensity to violence.
Historians have debated the rise of Fascism for many decades and particularly discussed whether the concept should be restricted to Italy or could be used for describing political processes in other countries as well. A particular question was whether National-Socialism could be described as a Fascist movement or whether such a designation would disregard the racist policy of extermination of the National-Socialists. Further debates concerned the relation of Fascism to the concept of modernity and to capitalism and the role of masculinity for the respective movements. Last but not least, scholars discussed whether due to the rise of Fascist movements in Middle Eastern, Asian and American countries, Fascism could be described as a global political phenomenon in the decades after Wrold War One. |
