'''A. James Gregor''' (1929–2019) was an American political scientist at UC Berkeley, the leading academic theorist of '''"developmental fascism"''' — the thesis that fascism, in its Italian form and its imitators, functioned historically as a developmental dictatorship for late-modernizing nations.

== Work ==
* ''The Ideology of Fascism'' (1969), ''Italian Fascism and Developmental Dictatorship'' (1979), ''Mussolini's Intellectuals'', and studies of Chinese communism interpreted through the same developmental lens.
* Argued fascism was not mere reaction but a revolutionary syncretic ideology: nationalism plus state-directed modernization for societies where liberal capitalism arrived too late and revolution from the left threatened the national state.
* His framework influenced both academic fascism studies and the New Right's self-understanding; he also consulted on security matters and wrote on Marxism-Leninism as a parallel developmental ideology.
