Scientia Global Editions: CLAEC e-Books
Scientia International Press, in partnership with Editora CLAEC (Centro Latino-Americano de Estudos em Cultura), announces the Call for Chapters for the collective volume:
Repressive Regimes, Conservative Ideas: Networks, Ideologies, and Governments
This book is part of the Scientia Global Editions: CLAEC e-Books collection and invites critical contributions that examine the historical roots, transnational connections, and contemporary reconfigurations of repressive regimes and conservative ideologies.
About the Book
This volume brings together analyses of authoritarian and repressive regimes of the 20th century and the conservative ideas, political networks, and ideological legacies that continue to shape the present.
The book welcomes chapters that explore dictatorships such as those in Spain and Portugal from the 1930s, as well as Brazil and Argentina from the 1960s, examining both their internal dynamics and the relationships established between regimes, including connections between fascism and Francoism, Salazarism and the Brazilian military dictatorship, and other transnational authoritarian networks.
Contributions addressing the diffusion of conservative ideas throughout the 20th century and their strengthening in the early 21st century are especially encouraged, including studies on political parties, organizations, and social groups that claim ideological legacies from fascism or Nazism, or that seek to minimize, relativize, or deny the crimes committed by authoritarian regimes.
The book welcomes theoretical, historical, empirical, and comparative approaches grounded in the Social Sciences, History, Political Science, International Relations, and related fields.
