This volume constitutes a survey of social science efforts to
explain the fascist phenomenon. Attempts to adequately interpret
fascism have involved an inordinate number of social researchers
and historians for an inordinate amount of time over the past half
century. For all that we still find ourselves without a compelling
account of the entire complex sequence. Fascism constitutes a
significant concern for students of contemporary politics. To
develop an intellectually defensible explanation of the nature,
origins, and development of Italian Fascism and German Nazism
remains a responsibility still outstanding.Interpretations of
Fascism provides a review of the efforts that have been made to
date to interpret and explain the phenomenon, It addresses itself
specifically to those efforts undertaken to provide a social
science explanation of Mussolini's Fascism. Dealing wiht the
special application of social science methods to a specific
problem, the book provides a special angle to examine this
ubiquitous system in a comparable context. The book should be
useful for college courses inb political theory, comparative
politics, democracy and dictatorship, economic and political
change, and modern European history.The new edition is graced by a
provocative, lengthy new essay reviewing the literature from 1973
through 1996. As such, it is an up to date examination of fascism
in our times. Professor Gregor is careful to emphasize that fascist
movements can thrive in confines far beyond Italy and Germany. It
has found fertile soil from Russia to Africa. In short, Gregor
argues that this makes fascism a movement that extends through
political space no less than historical time. The documentation of
the book is now very rich, with a bibliographic review that can
serve experts and generalists alike.Stanley G. Payne credits Gregor
with "clearing away useless, obfuscatory theoretical debris",
claiming that "Gregor's book serves the study of fascist politics
very well indeed". And Giuseppe Prezzolini, introduced the Italian
language edition by noting that "Interpretations of Fascism is rich
in information and scientifically precise in style...a reflection
of an intelligence that operates beyond passions."
