Totalitarianism research

My research examines the history and theory of the concept of totalitarianism. Questions examined and answered are: when did totalitarianism first emerge as a term and why? What kinds of totalitarian regimes have existed? What are the differences between totalitarianism and other regimes such as dictatorships, autocracies and military juntas? Is radical Islam an example of totalitarianism and, if not, why not? Who are the most important theorists of totalitarianism?
