The Rumanian case: the Iron Guard as Part of the fascist Network
Résumé
The topic of the width and the intensity of the Romanian participation to the fascist European network is not the one privileged by scholars, because their efforts in the case of the so-called "small fascisms" consisted in demonstrating the autonomy of home-grown Fascisms. In terms of network theory, it means privileging the nodes over the links. This approach incites first to a comparative, and not to a relational methodology. It is certainly indispensable to propose a generic definition of Fascism. But the relational and transfer approaches will prove useful to evaluate some comparative theories in the view of the actors themselves: did they consider that ideological and structural commonalties could create international relationships? The main point of my argumentation is the pre-eminence of the ideology over Realpolitik in Fascist international relations. Fascist States are not Westphalian States, they do not evolve in the so-called "international disorder" and do not obey only to rationality of interests, but also to ideology driven geopolitics.
