Fascism and Ideology: Italy, Britain, and Norway - Routledge Studies in Modern European History
Salvatore Garau
This book develops a number of new conceptual tools to tackle some of the most hotly debated issues concerning the nature of fascism, using three profoundly different national contexts in the inter-war years as case studies: Italy, Britain and Norway. It explores how fascist ideology was the result of a sustained struggle between competing internal factions, which created a precarious but highly dynamic balance between revolutionary/totalitarian and conservative/authoritarian tendencies. Its focus on fascist ideology?s internal variety and aggregative potential leads the book to argue that when fascism "succeeded," this was less an effect of its revolutionary ideas, than of the opposite ? namely, its power to integrate elements from other pre-existing ideologies.
