Abstract

This panel examines radicalism, populism, extremism and the responses to these political phenomena from a localist and/or transnational perspective. Drawing from the 'localist turn' in populism studies (Chou et al. 2022) and in the research on far-right normalization (Domann 2023), the papers go beyond the concept of national populisms to explore the manifold roles of spaces and places in radical mobilizations and democratic responses. In discussing original findings of qualitative research on various local, regional, and transnational case studies, this panel contributes nuanced insights into the politics of place in contemporary Europe.
