Investigates right-wing extremism, nationalism, & xenophobia among East German youth, & evaluates the extent to which such activity can be classified as a social movement. Three approaches are considered: (1) the organizational perspective (ie, study of the internal structures of right-wing extremism); (2) the perspective of group & adolescent sociology (ie, investigation into the possibilities & limits of the instrumentalization of young people by right-wing parties & groups); & (3) the social movements perspective (ie, study of the establishment & stabilization of right-wing infrastructure & mobilization). It is concluded that right-wing extremism is not a mature social movement, but can be discussed as a potential social movement in its initial stages. 26 References. Adapted from the source document.
