"We are the European Nation" The neo-fascist perspectives on European unification and identity in France and Italy, 1950s-1960s

Research master thesis | History (research) (MA)

This thesis explores different neo-fascist perspectives on the European unification process as well as on the development of a form of European identity in the 1950s and 1960s. More precisely, the research focuses on Italian and French neo-fascist magazines and actors and adopts a transnational and intellectual historical approach. Attention is also devoted to the non-European influences on the development of such neo-fascist ideas.
