Fifth Academic Article: Nouvelle Droite and Empire!

Here is the title of my fifth academic article:

"Fascism to the Nouvelle Droite: The Dream of Pan-European Empire," Journal of Contemporary European Studies 16 (3) (December 2008), pp. 327-345.

Here is the abstract below:

The purpose of this paper is to trace continuity in the attachment of the nouvelle droite to a homogeneous notion of pan-European identity since its birth in 1968. Like the nouvelle droite, early post-war neo-fascism and significant fascist elements in Italy were similarly obsessed with the decline of homogeneous pan-European or Western identities. Despite the ultra-nationalistic origins of historical fascism, early post-war neo-fascism and the nouvelle droite in different historical periods, the thread tying them together is the notion of a strong, unified, homogeneous, pan-European empire regenerated in defense against the dominant 'materialist' ideologies such as liberalism, conservatism, social democracy, socialism, capitalism and communism.

By the way, the map above is of the Roman Empire in C.E. 117. The nouvelle droite under its leader Alain de Benoist has stated as its geopolitical preference the recreation of a pan-European empire in which there is a "Europe of a Hundred Flags." Internally, the regions or states would be homogeneous (cleansed of immigrants) led by an imperial centre with an authoritarian, elitist, corporatist bent. Yes to a European union says the nouvelle droite, but no to the capitalist, technocratic European Union of today. A united imperial Europe, the nouvelle droite reasons, would be able to challenge the world's sole remaining superpower and its primary enemy, the liberal capitalist United States of America.
