<p>The growing popularity of far-right groups in the global political landscape has led to a substantial rise in the number of studies on neo-fascism in recent years. However, these studies contain several flaws, partly because the very category of neo-fascism is problematic and has been used excessively in public debates to describe a wide range of personalities and parties. Nonetheless this literature review argues that the quality of research on neo-fascism has improved through the adoption of certain good practices in recent scholarship, including the tendency to reinterpret the turning point of 1945, to move beyond an event-driven analysis and to adopt a transnational approach.</p>
