Authoritarianism, Fascism, and National Populism
Description
This definitive contribution to social science literature describes German's general theory of authoritarianism in modem society, and applies it to authoritarian movements and regimes likely to merge out of the social mobilization of the middle and lower classes. Germani analyzes the nature, conditions, and determinants of authoritarianism in the context of Latin American political and social developments and compares it to European fascist movements.
Editorial Reviews
"... A stimulating book. It will provoke discussion and contribute to a more profound understanding of the phenomena that have shaped, and are shaping, our world."
—A. James Gregor, American Political Science Review
"His primary interest here is in processes at the intermediate level, not at a macro level. The book shows how rewarding analysis at this level can be. It is a major contribution to the sociological literature on fascism and authoritarianism."
—John R. Low-Beer, Contemporary Sociology
