National Populism and Fascism: Blood and Soil against Globalization

Abstract

Parallel but opposed to the globalist visions of liberalism and Marxism, the rejection of the global has a long history. This chapter examines anti-globalization positions articulated on the right end of the political spectrum. It traces the development of these ideas from the long tradition of European anti-universalism while also identifying new conceptual and rhetorical shifts espoused by parties, movements and intellectuals representing national populist and fascist thought.
