Iordachi (history, Central European U., Hungary) present 14 papers from the field of comparative fascist studies, chosen so as to represent the distinct methods and levels of comparisons employed in the field: debates over ideal-types of generic fascism used as instruments of comparison and evaluation of historical case studies; cross-national and trans-national empirical comparisons of historical examples of fascism, measured against each-other or against theoretical models of generic fascism; and debates over totalitarianism and political religions related to the study of fascist movements and regimes.
