Description

Bibliography and References on Fascism and Nazism

Overview

This is a digital text file compiled on 20 December 2023 by six scholars—Ángel Alcalde, Arnd Bauerkämper, Grzegorz Rossoliński‑Liebe, Tomislav Dulić, Daniel Hedinger, and Paul Jackson. It resides in the PINAX repository and is written in English. The document functions as a curated bibliography of peer‑reviewed literature that examines fascism, Nazism, and their transnational dimensions, with an emphasis on historical research and social‑movement theory.

Background

The bibliography was produced by a collaborative research team operating within a “test” institutional setting, drawing on the expertise of universities specializing in European history and political science. It reflects contemporary scholarly debates on how fascist and Nazi ideologies spread across borders, particularly between Europe, Italy, and Japan. The compilation draws on recent journal articles and monographs that address transnational fascism and the global legacy of these movements.

The bibliography lists five key references that exemplify the field’s methodological and thematic concerns:

“The Transnational Consensus: Fascism and Nazism in Current Research” (2020, Contemporary European History).

“Fascism Without Borders: Transnational Connections and Cooperation Between Movements and Regimes in Europe From 1918 to 1945” (2017, Berghahn Books).

“Fascism and (Transnational) Social Movements: A Reflection on Concepts and Theory in Comparative Fascist Studies” (2021, Fascism).

“Universal Fascism and its Global Legacy. Italy’s and Japan’s Entangled History in the Early 1930s” (2013, Fascism).

“Dreaming of a National Socialist World: The World Union of National Socialists (WUNS) and the Recurring Vision of Transnational Neo‑Nazism” (2019, Fascism).

Each entry includes bibliographic details such as title, year, publisher or journal, volume, pages, and DOI where available. The bibliography is organized thematically, grouping works that address transnational networks, comparative fascist theory, and the historical interplay between Italy and Japan.

Scope

The document covers scholarly literature published from the early 2010s to the present, focusing on Europe with particular attention to Italy and Japan. Thematic coverage includes fascism, Nazism, transnational fascism, cooperation among fascist movements, historical research methods, and social‑movement theory. The bibliography deliberately excludes non‑scholarly sources, primary archival documents, and works that do not engage with the transnational or historical dimensions of fascism and Nazism.
