Book: The Civic Foundations of Fascism in Europe: Italy, Spain, and Romania, 1870-1945
Dylan Riley (Berkeley) is the author of "The Civic Foundations of Fascism in Europe: Italy, Spain, and Romania, 1870-1945" (Johns Hopkins University Press, January 2010).
Quote: "From the late nineteenth century to World War I, voluntary associations exploded across Europe, especially among rural non-elites. But the development of this 'civil society' did not produce liberal democracy in Italy, Spain, and Romania. Instead, Riley finds that it undermined the nascent liberal regimes in these countries and was a central cause of the rise of fascism. ... Riley credibly challenges the notion that a strong civil society necessarily leads to the development of liberal democracy."
