Sommario/riassunto

In Europe, the far right is gaining momentum on the streets and in parliaments. By taking a close look at contemporary practices and strategies of far-right actors, the present volume explores this right-ward shift of European publics and politics. It assembles analyses of changing mobilization patterns and their effects on the local, national and transnational level.International experts, among them Tamir Bar-On, Liz Fekete, Matthew Kott, and Graham Macklin, scrutinize new forms of coalition building, mainstreaming and transnationalization tendencies as aspects of diversified far-right politics in Europe.

»Ein eindrückliches Bild gegenwärtiger Wandlungstendenzen innerhalb der rechten Bewegungslandschaft in Europa.«

»[Es] kann nur eine Leseempfehlung ausgesprochen werden. Besonders für diejenigen, die sich einen vertiefenden Überblick jenseits des deutschsprachigen Raumes und in einem europäischen Kontext über die rechte Bewegung verschaffen wollen, sollten zu diesem Buch greifen.«

»This book contributes to the discussion about far-right movements in Europe by addressing key questions about the manifestation of the far right, new forms of mobilisation, national peculiarities,and the interaction of such movements with traditional political parties.For those seeking an overview on the subject, this book is essential reading.«

»Highly recommended, especially for those who wish to gain deeper insights into the European context of current right-wing movements beyond a focus on German-speaking regions.«
