The book will be of interest to scholars in the social movement field as well as political scientists, sociologists, and general readers interested in issues such as populism, extremism and understanding the ways in which the contemporary far right challenges liberal democracies"--

2019 was a defining year for the radical right globally. From national and supranational elections that witnessed a surge in support for radical right parties to transnationally-inspired terrorist attacks in New Zealand, the USA, and Germany, the radical right is not just on the rise, but becoming an international mainstream phenomenon. The yearbook draws upon insightful analyses from an international network of scholars, policymakers, and practitioners who explore the processes and impact of the radical right. Beginning with reflections on the ideology and then historical perspectives of the radical right, the volume then turns to contemporary manifestations of movements and political parties as well as terrorism and the role of online spaces. It ends by examining various perspectives towards countering and challenging the radical right. This overview provides a widespread examination of the global radical right in 2019, which will be useful to scholars, students, policy makers, and the public.

Who votes for radical right parties and why? This book argues that the increasing popularity of the radical right in Europe originates in community bonds: strong ties to one's locality motivate support for the radical right. These parties use nostalgic themes and symbolic politicking to idealize community, defend local autonomy, and ultimately draw local identity into the electoral realm. While other explanations of the radical right's popularity typify supporters as victims of macro-economic shifts and strains, the author's account explores people's day-to-day experiences that link local connections to political decisions. The analysis also raises questions about the political implications of different formal authority structures such as the level and nature of power devolved to local units. The localist model of radical right support illuminates the psychological, social, and institutional conditions and processes that render people's feelings about their cities, towns, and villages relevant for politics.

Hier werden in mehrfacher Hinsicht neue Akzente gesetzt: Erstens sind alle Beiträge vergleichend angelegt und überschreiten den nationalen Rahmen. Zweitens ist das östliche Europa in etwa gleichgewichtig vertreten, obwohl die Forschungslage weit ungünstiger ist als für das westliche. Drittens behandelt der Band nicht nur den parteiförmig organisierten Rechtsextremismus und das damit verbundene Wahlgeschehen, sondern bezieht zum einen militante Szenen und Subkulturen einschließlich mancher paramilitärischer Erscheinungen im östlichen Europa, zum anderen das weite Feld politischer Ideen und kultureller Trends und ihren Einfluss auf die europäische politische Kultur mit ein - auch hier wiederum in vergleichender und Ländergrenzen überschreitender Anlage.

"This volume brings together a number of UK and non-UK-based scholars to offer an original perspective on the analysis of far-right movements and politics. The principal entry point of this volume's analysis is to challenge the existing literatures on the far-right through offering a very different methodological and theoretical perspective in examining the far-right. Thus, the approach offered in this volume is that of 'longue duree' analysis whereby the far-right is understood as a product of deeper and longer-term structures of socio-economic and political development. The far-right is seen as an evolving subject of (capitalist) modernity such that an assessment of its contemporary characteristics needs to consider the way in which the far-right is a constitutive current of longer-term socio-economic and political developments. It aims to provide a (critical) theoretically-informed assessment of the history of the far-right that centres the international as key to any understanding of the far-right"--

The last decade has seen a surge of academic interest in radical right‐wing populism, a movement that has drastically altered the political landscape of twenty‐first‐century Britain. Prior to 2016, the clearest sign of the populist radical right's ascendency was the rise of the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP), the political party which led the charge for Britain's departure from the European Union. In the wake of Brexit and the 2019 General Election, however, the future of the populist radical right in Britain is uncertain, owing to the resurgence of the Conservative Party and the emergence of a "big tent" populist challenger overseen by UKIP's former leader Nigel Farage. This article explores some of the historical precedents for radical right‐wing populism in contemporary Britain, arguing that the ideological roots of UKIP and its ilk are to be found in the radical traditions of English conservatism, rather than the fascistic heritage of the extreme right. It contends, however, that the ideological interests of conservative populists and right‐wing extremists in the United Kingdom have frequently intersected — and that this blurring of the boundaries is likely to continue in future manifestations of the country's populist radical right.

Rechtspopulistische Akteure können in Belgien und den Niederlanden fulminante Wahlergebnisse verbuchen. Wie gelingt es ihnen, ihre Botschaften - vor allem zur Migrations- und Integrationsproblematik - in die öffentliche Diskussion zu lancieren? Welche ideologischen Unterschiede bestehen zwischen der belgischen und der niederländischen Variante des Rechtspopulismus? Welche gesellschaftlichen und politischen Faktoren erklären ihren Erfolg? Gerd Reuter analysiert das politische System und die politische Kultur des jeweiligen Landes und wertet niederländischsprachige Medienerzeugnisse, Parteiprogramme, Umfragedaten, Wahl-, Wirtschafts- und Sozialstatistiken vergleichend aus. Er klärt die historisch-kulturellen, sozioökonomischen und soziokulturellen Rahmenbedingungen und erforscht das Wirkungsverhältnis zwischen den soziokulturellen Entwicklungen, dem Wertewandel und der Modernisierung. Gerade darin findet er eine Antwort auf die Frage, warum in westlichen, (post-)modernen und zugleich prosperierenden Gesellschaften Rechtspopulismus Erfolg haben kann.Das Buch wendet sich an Dozierende und Studierende der Politikwissenschaften und der Soziologie sowie an PolitikberaterInnen und an den Niederlanden und Belgien Interessierte.

Exploring how the boundary between the extremist far right and centre-right parties and politics became blurred, Normalization of the Global Far Right: Pandemic Disruption deconstructs one of the most pressing issues of today: the rise of the far right. Taking a critical look at the 'normalisation' of far-right thinking underpinned by gendered racisms, Vieten and Poynting trace the emergence of transnational far right populist movements and how these have been shaped by European colonialism, white supremacy, and ideological legacies of the Empire alike.
