The Far Right Is Already Here. Now What
The field of far-right studies has risen to prominence since the 1990s, developing from a marginal academic niche into a significant area of political analysis.This trajectory is best illustrated in Cas Mudde's assessment, as he remembers how during the 1990s the study of the far right was considered secondary at best within academia in general and political science in particular.Today, Mudde argues, hundreds of PhD students and thousands of MA a…
The role of the Banca Nazionale del Lavoro (BNL) in Fascist Italy’s economic strategy towards Franco’s Spain, 1936–43
This article analyses the activities conducted by the Banca Nazionale del Lavoro (BNL) in Spain between 1936 to 1943 to understand Italian policy towards the Francoist regime during that period. In doing so, this piece argues that it is important to adopt a political economy approach that looks at production, trade and industrial investments, always in relation to politics, diplomacy, law, culture and government. In fact, this article establishes…
Fascism reimagined
This special issue explores the enduring legacies of fascism in twentieth-century Europe through an intergenerational lens, focusing on the dynamic exchanges between different age cohorts within far-right movements from the interwar period to the 1980s. Challenging the notion that the end of the Second World War marked a definitive Stunde Null (Zero Hour), this issue explores how older fascist leaders sought to revitalize their ideology by engagi…
Conclusions
Converging forces
This article looks at how social movements in francophone Belgium shaped the institutional contours of adult education ‘from below’. It focuses on the integral role played by progressive social movements in the creation of a regional state-based system of adult education in 1976, known as the Service de l’Éducation Permanente (SdEP). Blending historical and sociological methods, it is shown that the SdEP emerged when a movement-based legacy of po…
Writing a Transnational (Global?) History of Extradition Law in the Short Twentieth Century
The article examines the history of extradition in the twentieth century, to call for a broader engagement with extradition law not only as an under-explored chapter in international law in its own right, but also as a pathway to think more deeply about world-ruling projects. Extradition law, normally thought of as primarily bilateral, in fact has a long and rich history of multilateral engagement. This tension between multilateralism and bilater…
From Brest to Bucharest’
This paper focuses on the transnational neofascist network during the long 1970s. Specifically, it revolves around the period between the consolidation of the generational change (made explicit in 1968), and the beginning of the 1980s, when many of these political actors decided to migrate to South America, increasingly aware of the shortcomings of their European project. From a spatial perspective, this paper concentrates on the concept of a ‘Th…
Poisoned Partnership
This article investigates the development of the Spanish–Italian mercury cartel from the end of World War II to the mid-1950s. Previous literature has singled out the cartel as one of the most robust international cartels of the twentieth century, but as this article shows, the cartel broke down toward the end of the 1940s, and although briefly reestablished in 1954, it quickly dissolved again. Building on access to original source material from …
The Neofascist Network and Madrid, 1945–1953
The aim of this paper is to trace the evolution of the neofascist networks from the vantage point, between 1945 and 1953, of Madrid, a city where a myriad of extreme right activists gathered to discuss and promote their cause at a transnational level. Exploring the local socio-political context in which these (neo)-fascists moved, and the networks that they formed, the study delves into the creation of ratlines crucial for fascists to escape from…
The End of the Affair
The aim of this article is to study the evolution of the multilateral negotiations aimed at the expulsion of Leon Degrelle between 1945 and 1946, in an attempt to understand why Britain and the USA failed to obtain his repatriation. By following an international history approach, this article shows how legal concepts like extradition, repatriation or expulsion were, by the end of World War II, insufficiently developed to deal with the intricacies…
Andrea Mammone. Transnational Neofascism in France and Italy
During the last decade, there has been a growing consensus among scholars that fascism needs to be understood and studied as a transnational phenomenon with global repercussions. The adoption of said perspective stems from the conviction that this methodology proves useful for a more comprehensive understanding of such a complex phenomenon that includes the numerous interactions between fascist activists, groups, parties, movements, and regimes, …
Transnational Fascism in the Twentieth Century
Developing a knowledge of the Spanish-Italian connection between right-wing extremist groups is crucial to any detailed understanding of the history of fascism. Transnational Fascism in the Twentieth Century allows us to consider the global fascist network that built up over the course of the 20th century by exploring one of the significant links that existed within that network. It distinguishes and analyses the relationship between the fascists…
A Transnational Network
The aim of this article is to analyze the relations established between Spanish and Italian extreme right-wing movements between 1945 and 1968, in an attempt to understand an important knot in the global network of neo-fascist terrorist organizations which was created at the end of World War II
