- Reposted by Martin HamreFascist regionalism is part of old Nazi policy in the Nordic/Scandinavian region. Quisling and other Nazi collaborators worked to increase cooperation in the region, but failed due to internal dissent.
- Its great to see that the new special issue in @ggjournal.bsky.social called "Das gelebte Europa", edited Florian Greiner and @mathae.bsky.social, has been published this week! I was honoured to contribute an article on 'The Third Europe', Hans Keller, and forms of fascist Europeanisation
- You can find the entire special issue, with a great introduction on the historiography of Europeanization and the concept “Europe vécue”, and other fascinating articles from Whiteness and Europeaness at the Global Frontier to the International Wine Office, here www.vr-elibrary.de/toc/gege/cur...

I Will Not Abandon You is a new history of queer women under Nazism that calls for us to rethink how we understand fascist persecution as well as the very foundations of progressive politics today.

- I am biased because he was a great colleague at grad school but I do think @hamremar.bsky.social "Fascists of the World, Unite?" is a very important contribution to debates about fascism internationalism in history and politics today. Do check it out and order it in your libraries.
- My monograph "Fascists of the World, Unite? A History of Fascist Internationalism in the 1930s" has been published by @degruyterbrill.bsky.social this summer! If you are curious, please order the book here or ask your favorite library to purchase it for you www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi...
- My book analyzes the ideas and forms of international cooperation between Fascist Italy, Nazi Germany, and fascist movements from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Ireland, and Britain. The study examines how fascists attempted to unite across borders by forming international organizations.
- This cooperation was fuelled by shared ideas of ultranationalism, anti-communism, antisemitism, white supremacism, and Europeanism. Fascist internationalism, marked by contradictions and an Italo-German rivalry, emerged in the 1930s as a counter-reaction to liberal and communist internationalism.
- The epilogue discusses reverberations of fascist internationalism in the Second World War and the postwar period and outlines the relevance of this history for understanding contemporary forms of far-right internationalism.
- Yesterday, my article on Fascist Regionalism: Nordic Cooperation among Scandinavian Fascist Parties in the 1930s was published in the Scandinavian Journal of History. It examines cooperation between the Nasjonal Samling, the DNSAP and the NSAP, based on Nordic racism, anticommunism and antisemitism

- Interesting insights from the conceptual historians KølvraaI and Ifversen about the return of the concept fascism in relation to Trumpism in an article published in @conhistcon.bsky.social. They analyze how fascism functions as an analytical category but also as a weaponized "Kampfbegriff".
- One main argument: "Recurring to the concept of fascism and finding comfort in a nostalgic rebooting of the grand struggles of the past is arguably ill-suited as a strategy in the face of what is a “darkness” of a different kind", meaning a postmodern era of "post-truth" in the 21st century
