Abstract
The virtually simultaneous appearance of new editions of Hannah A Arendt'sThe Origins of Totalitarianismand Carl Friedrich's and Zbigniew Brzezinski'sTotalitarian Dictatorship and Autocracyaffords an opportunity to reopen the question of the utility of the classical theory of totalitarianism in systematic comparative political analysis. The original editions of these two volumes went far toward shaping lay and academic understandings of totalitarianism in the 1950's; in addition, most subsequent general scholarship on totalitarianism has been written implicitly or explicitly in the light of—if not in reaction to—these two earlier works.Keywords
