Current PhD Project
A “Dark” Entanglement:
Transnational Fascist Networks Between Germany, Austria and Italy 1918–1934.
Funded by a Fellowship of the Gerda Henkel Foundation
My research analyses the emergence, development and influence of transnational fascist and radical-nationalist networks between the German-speaking central European space and Italy during the long 1920s. By this, I mean relations tied between the German, the Austrian, and the Italian radical-nationalist milieus which fostered the emergence of fascism as a transnational phenomenon on a European scale. The parties and groups of the extreme right in the three countries, such as the National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei), the “Steel Helmet” (Stahlhelm, Bund der Frontsoldaten) in Germany, the Home Guard (Heimwehr) in Austria, the National Fascist Party (Partito Nazionale Fascista) in Italy, as well as cultural associations, political clubs, diplomatic circles and single brokers related to them, represent the empirical core of my research object. The project aims at explaining the reasons why these relationships came into being, what processes influenced their expansion, how these entanglements operated and to which extent the network was influential on both the transnational and the local level.
