Beyond the Fascist Century

This book evaluates the current and future state of fascism studies, reflecting on the first hundred years of fascism and looking ahead to a new era in which fascism studies increasingly faces fresh questions concerning its relevance and the potential reappearance of fascism. This wide-ranging work celebrates Roger Griffin's contributions to fascism studies - in conceptual and definitional terms, but also in advancing our understanding of fascism - which have informed related research in a number of fields and directions since the 1990s. Bringing together three 'generations' of fascism scholars, the book offers a combination of broad conceptual essays and contributions focusing on particular themes and facets of fascism. The book features chapters, which, although diverse in their approaches, explore Griffin's work while also engaging critically with other schools of thought. As such, it identifies new avenues of research in fascism studies, placing Griffin's work within the context of new and emerging voices in the field. Constantin Iordachi is a Professor of History at Central European University, Hungary, and President of the International Association for Comparative Fascist Studies. He has published widely on comparative history in Central and Southeastern Europe, mostly on citizenship, the history of fascism, and comparative studies of communism.

Aristotle Kallis is a Professor of Modern and Contemporary History at Keele University, UK. He has published extensively in the fields of generic and comparative/transnational fascism, with a focus on ideology, violence, architecture and urban planning, and propaganda.
