Fascism remains a topic that fascinates both academic and general
audiences. This is the first book to look systematically at the
leaders of fascism and related movements in the inter-war era. It
shows how fascist leaders came to personify their movements and why
the Fuhreprinzip was applied in all fascist organizations. It also
explains how fascist leadership was of a very particular kind: It
was almost unlimited in political discipline and required complete
subordination. The legitimacy was based on a very vague notion of
'the organic unity of the state and the people', giving the leaders
competence to rule without accountability to a party organization
or state bodies. Thus, we can observe in all fascist
parties/movements a practical form of leadership where policies of
'split and rule' were common in absence of principles of
representation and opposition feedbacks. The fascist fuhrer was the
leader, the party, the ideology - and when in power: the state
itself. This book was previously published as a special issue of
Totalitarian Movements and Political Religions.
