Tomorrow Belongs to Us’
This book, edited by Nigel Copsey and Matthew Worley, covers the period from the formation of the National Front (NF), the first far-right group to threaten to make notable electoral gains in Britain (albeit in highly localised contexts), to the contemporary era. Although the latter stages of this period saw the rapid rise of UKIP, many academics do not see this party as ‘far right’. Partly as a result, Nigel Farage’s insurgency features only in …
Charisma and the Radical Right
Although the concept of “charismatic” leaders is commonplace in political discourse, many academics hold that the notion is vague and these leaders’ alleged appeal to voters untestable. This chapter sets out a conceptualization of such leaders, focusing on radical mission, personal presence, symbiotic hierarchy, and Manichean demonization. It then considers four broad theories about why charismatic leaders have notable effects (and why the radica…
Populism and Fascism
Populism and fascism are identified by their foundational ideologies. In the case of “thin” populist ideology the core matrices are: (1) the plain people, (2) self-serving elites, and (3) rule by popular will. In the case of fascism they are the creation of: (1) the holistic nation, (2) a “new man,” and (3) a third way authoritarian state. These are then used to assess contested later manifestations, including Peronism, Donald Trump, and the Fren…
Fascism and Racism
Nazism has often been distinguished from fascism on account of its murderous and territorially expansionist racism. Certainly anti-semitism did not feature in early Italian Fascist ideology, which focused more on delineating a new socioeconomic Third Way. However, the fascist quest for economic power was intimately linked to the belief that Italy had the right to rule over a great empire. Moreover, fascism later turned to anti-semitism, partly in…
Fascism
Although strands of proto-fascist thought can be identified before 1914, it was only after the First World War that a syncretic fascist ideology emerged. It is best understood within a matrix encompassing three core themes. The first is the quest for a ‘new man’, which required the creation of new forms of dynamic leadership. The second is the celebration of the holistic nation, though this did not necessarily mean militaristic expansionism outsi…
The New Extremism in 21st Century Britain
Since the 1990s, there has been a growing concern about the resurgence of extremist and radical movements in the Western world. Although a variety of challenges to the liberal democratic order have emerged, the main focus of concern among academics, policy-makers and practitioners within Europe and beyond has been on the growth and activities of Islamists and to a lesser extent the extreme right. However, these forms of extremism are seldom place…
Introduction
For many years after 1945, the interwar era in Europe was portrayed as the ‘age of dictators’, and more specifically as the ‘epoch of fascism’. However, in recent decades professional historians ha

Ideas and leaders matter. Fascism's syncretic ideology is crucial to understanding its rise and support. So too is the coterie charisma exerted by leaders like Hitler over an inner core even in the wilderness years; his centripetal charisma went on to help attract the masses to the ‘Führer party’ for very diverse reasons; and the cultic charisma leaders developed especially when in power further helps explain their appeal.

The Rebirth of Right-Wing Charisma? The Cases of Jean-Marie Le Pen and Vladimir Zhirinovsky
Charisma has often been seen as an important factor in the rise of extreme Right parties, both in the inter-war era and more recently. However, empirical case studies of the two men who have been arguably the most-cited recent 'charismatic' leaders - Jean-Marie Le Pen and Vladimir Zhirinovsky - reveal little evidence for a Weber-like emotional mass bond, largely unconcerned with rational economic issues. Nevertheless, charisma remains a useful an…

A History of Fascism, 1914-1945
On defining the ‘Fascist Minimum
Much of the vast literature on fascism adopts a socio‐economic approach to the problem of definition. Developing from a review of the recent works on three major commentators who have adopted a more political approach to the problem of definition (Zeev Sternhell, Stanley Payne and Roger Griffin), this article argues that fascism was a genuine ideology and that it is best defined in these terms.

Towards a New Model of Generic Fascism
The vast academic literature on fascism can usefully be divided into conceptual and theoretical approaches. The former tries to unravel fascist ideology, the latter seeks more to explain its support. Most approaches have focused on the latter. This stems from the view that fascist ideology tends to be incoherent, and the belief that support-based models are more `scientific'. However, the result has been that different forms of movement/regime ar…
