Klappentext A critical study on the part of social scientists to identify neofascism wherever it appears in the modern world. The work attempts to show that most contemporary efforts are flawed in a number of ways, but more frequently than not because the characterization neofascist is used to defame, rather than identify a political movement or regime that shares some objectively identifiable properties. The discussion then suggests what the practical implications might be of such treatment. Zusammenfassung A critical study to identify 'neofascism' wherever it appears in the modern world.
