| Summary: | Abstract he General Introduction to this volume has already set out the criteria which have been used to distinguish fascist from non-fascist movements. Accordingly Part III omits the many authoritarian and ‘para-fascist’ regimes so often referred to asfascist, especially by the left, such as Franco’s Spain and Peron’s Argentina. It also ignores the ‘foreign’ Fascist and Nazi groups which could be found wherever there were significant concentrationsof expatriate Italians and Germans (which could be as far afield as the USA, Canada, and Australia). Similarly it takes no account of the essentially mimetic (and in the main negligible) fascist movements modelled on Fascism or Nazism which surfaced in the inter-war period in countries not referred to here, such as Iceland, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Switzerland, even if the Sudeten-German and Austrian Nazi groups came to have a major role on political events. As for other movements closely associated with fascism: the Austrian Heimwehren (home defence leagues) have been omitted because in the main they stopped short of full-blown fascism, allowing themselves to be absorbed by the para-fascist regime of Dollfuss and Schuschnigg. |
