Abstract

From Trump's MAGAism and Rassemblement National, to the Nordic Resistance Movement and Forza Nuova, extreme right movements grow in different institutional contexts and challenge democratic norms. This EPCR panel has been organised to present five cutting-edge studies on the far right. Papers will probe organisations, strategies, online presence, party ties, trajectories—and especially—the social forces and mechanisms that mainstream them in the contemporary West. Several presentations have a comparative focus. The papers contribute to our understanding of the politics of "rising resentment," using various analytical methods in diverse national settings.
