Fascism, Liberalism and Europeanism in the political thought of Bertrand de Jouvenel and Alfred Fabre-Luce

Creative Commons License CC BY NC ND (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0)Despite the recent rise in studies that approach fascism as a transnational phenomenon, the links between fascism and internationalist intellectual currents have only received scant attention. This book explores the political thought of Bertrand de Jouvenel and Alfred Fabre-Luce, two French intellectuals, journalists and political writers who, from 1930 to the mid-1950s, moved between liberalism, fascism and Europeanism. Daniel Knegt argues that their longing for a united Europe was the driving force behind this ideological transformation-and that we can see in their thought the earliest stages of what would become neoliberalism.-- Preface 9 -- List of Abbreviations 11 -- Introduction: Fascism in France and Beyond 13 -- 1 ‘En Faisant l’Europe’: Internationalism and the Fascist Drift 45 -- 2 Planning, Fascism and the State: 1930-1939 69 -- 3 Facing a Fascist Europe: 1939-1943 95 -- 4 A European Revolution?: Liberation and the Post-War -- 5 Europeanism, Neoliberalism and the Cold War 221 -- Conclusion: From the Sohlberg to Mont Pèlerin 259 -- Bibliography 267 -- Index 281Published version of EUI PhD thesis, 201
