The Rise of the Far Right in Europe: Populist Shifts and 'Othering'

Author: Dr. Gabriella Lazaridis,Giovanna Campani,Annie Benveniste,Michael Shmith
Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan
Category: Migration, Immigration & Emigration, Ethnic Studies, Sociology
Book Format: Hardcover

The results of the last European

Elections of 2014 confirmed the rise of right and far right 'populist' parties

across the EU. The success of a range of parties, such as Denmark's Dansk Folskeparti, Slovenia's Slovenska demokratska stranka,

France's Front National, Greece's Golden Dawn, the United Kingdom Independence Party, Beppe Grillo's Five Star Movement in Italy and

the Austrian FPÖ, has been perceived as a political wave which is transforming

the face of the European Parliament, and challenging at some level the

hegemony of the 'big four' well-established European political forces that

lead the Strasbourg's assembly: the ALDE, EPP, S&D and Greens/ALE.

As 'populism' has become a major issue in many EU countries, this collection aims

to provide a critical understanding of related trends and recommend ways in

which they can be challenged both in policy and praxis, by using the

gender-race-ethnicity-sexual orientation intersectionality approach.

This

international volume combines extensive transnational comparative data analysis, as well as research at discursive, attitudinal and

behavioural levels.
