I personally don't possess an adequate terminology to understand the sentense but the structure seems fine.

Also, I think it should say "has", not "have", since it is referring to the word "impetus"

Impetus has, not impetus have.

They mistakenly used the word "have" because the preceeding word was "excesses". However, the word "has" is being applied to the word "impetus", not the word "excesses".


The correct sentence would read:

"The impetus for the creation and continuation of the Nazi regime and its resultant horrible excesses has been debated as the result of an interrupted path to modern development by World War One, German Herrenmensch culture and the varying claims between intentionalists and structionalists (Kershaw, 239-40)."
