As a twentieth century phenomenon, mass dictatorship developed its
own modern socio-political engineering system which sought to
achieve the self-mobilization of the masses for radical state
projects. In this sense, it shares a similar mobilization mechanism
with its close cousin, mass democracy. Mass dictatorship requires
the modern platform of the public sphere to spread its clarion call
for the masses to realize their lofty utopian visions. Far from
being a phenomenon that emerged from pre-modern despotic practices,
mass dictatorship reflects the global proliferation of
quintessential modernist assumptions about the transformability of
the individual and society through collective effort. Mass
dictatorship therefore utilizes the utmost modern practices to form
totalitarian cohesion and to stage public spectacles in the search
for extremist solutions to a society's problems. The contributors
examine the phenomenon of mass dictatorship along many different
lines of inquiry, both theoretical as well as empirical in
disparate locations around the globe including Fascist Italy, Nazi
Germany, Interwar Austria, Imperial Japan, Colonial Korea, Colonial
Taiwan, Stalinist Russia, Maoist China, and North Korea.
