Using the Austrian Freedom Party under Jörg Haider as a case study and with a richness of primary material, he argues that their success is only partly caused by «racism». It is also, and more prominently, the result of populism – i.e. a critique of the «elite». These parties and their voters should not, then, be labelled as arrogant insiders attacking downtrodden outsiders like immigrants, workers, and minorities. Instead, the right-wingers are more justly portrayed as outsiders and underdogs, raising their anger and frustration against the insiders: the «media elite» and the «leftists and the artists».\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents: The study of right-wing extremism – The importance of the party leader – Jörg Haider’s writings – Two different forms of populism – Right wing populism – Racism – Anti-democratic ideas and fascism – Rhetoric and provocation – The EU sanctions against Austria – Public polls – How different are FPÖ voters? – Elitism.","brand":"Peter Lang AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51044306846039,"sku":"9783631661581","price":47.66,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783631661581.jpg?v=1750961207","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/populist-parties-and-the-failure-of-the-political-elites-the-rise-of-the-austrian-freedom-party-fpoe-9783631661581","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
