Though Italy and Germany furnish the best known cases of fascism's political geography between the two World Wars, one of the more intriguing and less known examples of regional variation in fascist strength occurred in Belgium. In the 1936 Belgian legislative elections, the fascist Rexist movement captured over 30 percent of the popular vote in the province of Luxembourg, compared to only 9 percent in Hainaut. This study applies a general theory of regionalism to the case of Belgian fascism. The data support the paper's hypothesis that divergent regional patterns of Belgian voting in 1936 can be largely ascribed to the existence of particular modes of production that were responsible for distinctive regional constellations of interests
