From the 1920s to the 1940s Europe experienced, in varying degrees, the rise of fascism and authoritarian movements. The horrors of World War II and the Holocaust tended to de-legitimize Nazism, fascism and fellow travellers. Nevertheless, post-war Europe and the USA have witnessed the sporadic and uneven growth of extreme right forms. This book brings together acknowledged expects to examine the nature and prevalence of the post-war extreme right in a comparative framework. In common with other political labels, the term extreme right can be elusive and the introduction discusses some of the problems encountered in defining the term. Both the introduction and the country by country studies illustrate the unevenness of extreme right-wing growth and the effects of specific political cultures. Authors concentrate upon the. ideas, impact and success of extreme right movements, pointing to the context in which the latter have set the agenda. Analysis is made therefore of the degree to which certain ideas and discourses are shared with other political parties and forces, for example mistrust of immigrants, intense nationalism and the search for scapegoats. The focus is primarily upon European Community countries and the USA but additional material looks at recent developments in Eastern Europe. This authoritative study is an invaluable reference for researchers, academics and students of this growing trend in contemporary Western society.
