Neo-Nazi and ultra-right groups are mushrooming throughout Europe at an alarming rate. Electoral support for fascist organizations is reflected in the 17 strong Group of the European Right led by Jean Mari Le Pen within the European Parliament. Destabilization and economic crisis in Eastern Europe and spiralling unemployment in the West have led millions to look to nationalistic and authoritarian groups - from the Pamyat movement in the Soviet Union to the Replublikaner Partei in Germany. The attendant racism and violence is escalating. Based on a much publicised EEC report, "Fascist Europe" provides a country-by-country analysis of fascist organization and support, uncovers the international skinhead movement and exposes racism in the cultural field. Action taken by the European Community since 1986 is examined and the prospects and trends in inter-governmental policy delineated. The report concludes that in the EEC millions will be alienated from the dream of 1992 through strict controls on immigrants and asylum seekers. Over 70 recommendations are made to combat racism and fascism and to turn conflict into opportunities for cultural diversity and enrichment.
