The word 'fascism' sometimes appears to have become a catch-all
term of abuse, applicable to anyone on the political right, from
Hitler to Donald Trump and from Putin to Thatcher. While some argue
that it lacks any distinctive conceptual meaning at all, others
have supplied highly elaborate definitions of its 'essential'
features. It is therefore a concept that presents unique challenges
for any student of political theory or history. In this accessible
book, Roger Griffin, one of the world's leading authorities on
fascism, brings welcome clarity to this controversial ideology. He
examines its origins and development as a political concept, from
its historical beginnings in 1920s Italy up to the present day, and
guides students through the confusing maze of debates surrounding
the nature, definition and meaning of fascism. Elucidating with
skill and precision its dynamic as a utopian ideology of
national/racial rebirth, Griffin goes on to examine its post-Second
World War mutations and its relevance to understanding contemporary
right-wing political phenomena, ranging from Marine Le Pen to
Golden Dawn. This concise and engaging volume will be of great
interest to all students of political theory, the history of
political thought, and modern history.
