Scholars should not ignore these \"dark sides\" of politics, however unpleasant they may be, since they influence the world in a multitude of harmful ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first volume in this two-volume collection focuses on the history of underground neo-fascist networks in the post-World War II era; neo-fascist paramilitary and terrorist groups operating in Europe and Latin America in the 1960s and 1970s; and the manipulation of those and other terrorist organizations by the security forces of various states, both authoritarian and democratic. A range of global case studies are included, all of which focus on the lesser known activities of certain secular extremist milieus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection should prove to be essential reading for students and researchers interested in understanding seemingly arcane but nonetheless important dimensions of recent historical and contemporary politics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54234704970072,"sku":"9781138785601","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781138785601.jpg?v=1768462235","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/darkest-sides-of-politics-i","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
