“This collection focuses upon the political dynamics that are constructed from a hybrid of historical, nation-centred factors as well as impacts and influences from abroad. … The contributors make a convincing case that existing taxonomies need to be reworked far more than has been the case to date encouraging experts to embrace the hybridity that is clearly highlighted throughout the book. … a valuable addition to the field of generic (para) fascist studies.” (Robert May, Fascism, Issue 5, October, 2016)“The book’s aim is to look beyond the traditional taxonomies which have dominated discussion of interwar dictatorships … and offer a new diffusional approach which embraces the complexity of such regimes and their various components. … Rethinking Fascism and Dictatorship in Europe will be an important resource not just to scholars of fascism and authoritarian regimes, but also historians studying the political culture of interwar Europe.” (Paul Stocker, Politics, Religion & Ideology, Vol. 16 (1), 2015)
