Description
Book SynopsisThis volume focuses on the contemporary far Right in Europe and covers some neglected, yet fundamental, geo-political areas. With different methodological approaches, the contributors examine the far Right in an interdisciplinary perspective, reflecting recent developments and parties that are operating in a new globalized arena.
Trade Review- a very welcome addition to current studies on the extreme or radical right in Europe - all the chapters are of high quality, offering empirical case studies informed by current scholarly debates and theoretical frameworks - the case studies encompass western, eastern, northern and southern Europe, thereby providing a very solid overview of parties and movements across Europe.A" * Anna Bull, University of Bath
