The prefects and party‐State relations in Fascist Italy
Journal of Modern Italian Studies, 1998Co-Authors: Philip MorganAbstract:Abstract This is a study of the prefects, the arm of central government in the provinces, under the Fascist regime. Using the author's own survey of those appointed prefects after the decision to establish the ‘Totalitarian’ State, it considers the phenomenon of the ‘Fascist prefects’ in relation to the progress of career officials, methods of recruitment and the prevailing bureaucratic culture, in order to assess the extent of the ‘Fascistization’ of the Interior Ministry. It then looks at how both career and ‘Fascist prefects’ actually operated on the ground and their relations with the Fascist Party in the provinces. The article concludes, on the evidence of continuing party‐State conflict throughout the 1930s, that there was a ‘Totalitarian’ regime in the making.

The Construction of the ‘Totalitarian’ State, 1925–9
Italian Fascism 1919–1945, 1995Co-Authors: Philip MorganAbstract:Mussolini first used the term ‘Totalitarian’ publicly in his speech to the PNF’s national congress in June 1925. He spoke of Fascism applying its ‘ferocious Totalitarian will’ to the remnants of opposition, and to the ‘fascistisation’ of the nation so that ‘tomorrow Italian and Fascist, rather like Italian and catholic, mean the same thing.’1 This usage corresponded to the earlier coining of the term by anti-Fascists lamenting Fascism’s desire not only to defeat but to destroy its opponents and monopolise power. It hence referred also to the explicitly ‘Totalitarian’ drift of provincial squadrism and syndicates from 1921–2 to eliminate all political opposition and ensure party control of all aspects of life. The operation of party rule under the ras was ‘Totalitarian’ even before the term was officially formulated. As we shall see, the provincial party extremists revived all the themes of 1923 ‘intransigence’ during 1925, when they attempted to generalise and formalise their experience as the basis of the new Fascist system.

Digital switchover, or digital grip: Transition to digital television in the Russian Federation
International Journal of Digital Televison, 2011Co-Authors: Vlad StrukovAbstract:The article presents essential information on the development of digital television (DTV) in Russia by providing an analysis of government documents, DTV markets, and the forms of signal delivery and configuration of DTV channels in Russia's regions. It outlines the interrelated geographical, technological, political, economic, social and cultural factors influencing the development of DTV in Russia and puts this in the context of Russia's transition from a Totalitarian State to a country with a market economy. The article discusses the role of different actors on the DTV market and puts forward concerns over the government's attempts to maintain State control over television by building capabilities for competing in the new media sphere. It also places DTV developments in the context of Russia's ongoing project of nation building.

MODEL OF THE Totalitarian State IN THE VIEW OF OUN’S ACTIVITIES (1920s-1930s) AND CLASSICAL WESTERN CONCEPTS OF TOTALITARISM: COMPARATIVE ASPECT
Східноєвропейський історичний вісник, 2020Co-Authors: Tamara Sharavara, Serhii PrykhodkoAbstract:The purpose of the article is to identify the features of the Totalitarian model of organization of State power created by representatives of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists in the 1920s – 1930s, as well as to make a comparative analysis of the classical Western concepts of Totalitarianism with the theoretical heritage of Ukrainian nationalists. The methodology of the research is based on the principles of systematic, dialectic, authenticity, concrete-historical approach, logic. General scientific (analysis, dialectical, synthesis, structural-functional, generalization) and special (content-analysis, comparative, system-historical) methods are used. The Scientific Novelty. The political conception of Ukrainian nationalists of the 1920s – 1930s was first characterized in terms of defining the model of a Totalitarian State. A comparative analysis of this model with classical theories of Totalitarianism, formed by Western political scientists after the Second World War. The Conclusions. Based on an analysis of the political concepts of Ukrainian nationalists of the 1920s – 1930s, it is found that they completed the basic features of a Totalitarian State. The creation of a model of a Totalitarian State during this period is conditioned by objective prerequisites. The OUN’s activities took place in the context of a discriminatory policy towards the Ukrainian population between Poland. That is why ideas of hard resistance to the Polish authorities were popularized among Ukrainians. It was in a Totalitarian State that Ukrainian nationalists saw a mechanism that would allow them to withstand external threats. In addition, in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe in the 1920s – 1930s, ideas about a Totalitarian organization of State power were also very popular. The theories of Totalitarianism by Western scholars emerged after World War II. It can be argued that there is a indirect influence of these concepts of OUN figures on classical theor ies

Building Interorganizational Relationships That Build Nations
Human Communication Research, 2003Co-Authors: Maureen Taylor, Marya L. DoerfelAbstract:This paper describes relationship building among nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in a civil society effort. It presents the results of an interorganizational network analysis of 17 Croatian civil society organizations that participated in the 2000 parliamentary election campaign. The research analyzes network relationships including density, structural holes, and centrality, considering the nature of these relationships as a function of choice of communication channels and strength of ties. The results of this study describe the communication roles of various organizations during the transformation from a Totalitarian State to a fledgling civil society.
