There is probably no more debased word in the political lexicon than "fascist". Used as a term of abuse or a catch-all description of extreme Right-wing nationalism, it has lost almost all specific meaning. Roger Griffin brings a new analytic perspective to the study of fascism in an historical context that examines the origin of fascism as an ideology and a political system and identifies the particular characters that differentiate fascism from any other political structure. Griffin's depiction of fascism as "palinagenetic ultra-nationalism" that seeks rebirth of a new order from a decadent society is a striking reinterpretation of world fascist movements that seeks to enhance our understanding of an extremely complex political fact. His original approach uses evidence from political theory, philosophy, history, iconography and social theory to produce a tour-de-force of synthesis.

Democracy is usually seen as an antidote to violence: terrorism should have no place where the ballot box is freely and fairly used. In practice, however, minorities reject majority verdicts, and democratic governments, faced with violent opposition, are tempted to introduce non-democratic measures to restore order, as well as exploiting violence for political ends. The study asks whether India's democratic institutions will be critically damaged by violence. At the end of 1992 the elected governments under the control of the Bharatiya Janata Party in four northern states of India were suspended by the central government. Was this a victory for violence over democracy or for democracy over violence? Indeed, can violence and democracy co-exist, or will India's democracy be eroded, smothered from above, undermined from below?.
