The Nature and Origins of Political Extremism In Germany and Beyond - Sebastian Jungkunz - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

The Nature and Origins of Political Extremism In Germany and Beyond - Sebastian Jungkunz - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book provides a systematic overview of the prevalence, causes, and stability of left-wing and right-wing extremist attitudes in Germany between 1994 and 2017. It shows that there are many similarities between left-wing and right-wing extremists, both in terms of their ideologies and their individual experiences. Overall, these causes can be traced back to three factors: unmet individual needs (e.g., deprivation or disenchantment with politics), access to ideological narratives that promise simplified solutions to individual problems, and the larger social circumstances of life (e.g., transformation processes, unemployment, or immigration). Although extremist attitudes are relatively rare, they are also shown to be highly stable: once acquired, individuals are difficult to bring back onto the democratic path. This book is the first to systematically compare left-wing and right-wing extremist attitudes, to provide an intensive methodological contribution to the measurability of such attitudes, and to relate their causes and stability.

Immigration Policy and Right-Wing Populism in Western Europe - Anna Mckeever - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Immigration Policy and Right-Wing Populism in Western Europe - Anna Mckeever - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Immigration has become one of the central issues dominating the agenda of political parties, and has also played a crucial role in the rise of right-wing populism in Western Europe. This book explores the role of conservative parties in immigration policy change. The following questions are addressed: What explains the introduction of restrictive immigration policies across a number of European states? Why do conservative parties choose to toughen their immigration policy stances? How can we explain the variation in the factors that affect conservative parties'' immigration policy-making logics? What mechanisms account for the dynamics of immigration policy change or policy deadlock? Based on interviews with political elites and policy makers in the UK, Switzerland and France, the book explains why governmental conservative parties in these countries revised their immigration policy stances and steered immigration policy in a more restrictive direction between 2002 and 2015.

Lone Wolves - Florian Hartleb - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Lone Wolves - Florian Hartleb - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

As the attacks in Norway, Munich and most recently Christchurch have shown: a new threat is now shaking liberal Western societies. Radicalized right-wing extremists - so-called lone wolves - are engaging in individually planned terror attacks. Written by an expert on terrorism and populism, this book highlights the dynamics of this new breed of terrorism. By providing in-depth insights into the biographies of individual perpetrators, it illustrates the changing profile of the typical lone terrorist. This new kind of terrorist engages in violence without being a member of a party or organization, yet is radicalized by a global right-wing subculture that communicates in virtual networks. This startling and well-written book reveals the ideological roots of lone wolf terrorism and urges governments and civil society to take the threat seriously and implement suitable countermeasures.

Religious Rhetoric in US Right-Wing Politics - Chiara M. Migliori - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Religious Rhetoric in US Right-Wing Politics - Chiara M. Migliori - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book seeks to understand white conservative Christians'' support for Donald Trump, using their own words. Drawing on the triangular relationship between the 45 th president, and his voters, and religious organizations, this work investigates the creation of the tale of Trump as the protector and enhancer of Christian values. The first part of the book discusses in detail the white conservative Christian constituency in the United States, and the development of feelings of displacement and resentment fostered by intergroup threat and nationalism. The central part focuses on the actor known as the "Religious Right," through the rhetoric of one of their most representative organizations in the twenty-first century. The final part focuses on the character of Donald Trump and his peculiar relationship with religious discourse. The book demonstrates that while such discourse is expected of Trump as a Republican candidate, his approach to it is characterized by detachment and sloganized exploitation of Christian symbols. Ultimately, the book highlights the cultural tools that are crucial in the reproduction of structures of inequality and the ways they have been used by conservative politicians and groups to accumulate power.

Marxism and Left-Wing Politics in Europe and Iran - Yadullah Shahibzadeh - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Marxism and Left-Wing Politics in Europe and Iran - Yadullah Shahibzadeh - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book reveals aspects of the rise and fall of the European and Iranian Left, their conceptualization of Marxism and ideological formations. Questions regarding the Left and Marxism within two seemingly different economic, political and intellectual and cultural contexts require comprehensive comparative histories of the two settings. This project investigates the intellectual transformations, which the European and Iranian Left have experienced after the Russian Revolution to the present. It examines the impacts of these transformations on their conceptualizations of history and revolution, domination and ideology, emancipation and universality, democracy and equality. The monograph will appeal to researchers, scholars and graduate students in the fields of political science, Middle Eastern and European studies, political history and comparative politics.

Populism, Nativism, and Economic Uncertainty - Austin Hofeman - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Populism, Nativism, and Economic Uncertainty - Austin Hofeman - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This project offers an in-depth look at the three 2017 elections held in Western Europe: France, Germany, and the UK. With events like Brexit and a general rise in right-wing populism across highly industrialized nations, understanding the underlying causes of increasingly extreme electoral behavior is both valuable and prescient. A highly theoretically-focused and current project, it provides a consistent methodological and analytic approach that uses election study data and primary sources to offer a complete and cogent picture of this complex phenomenon as can only found by examining the attitudes and behaviors of the most powerful of democratic participants: the voters.

The Disintegration of Euro-Atlanticism and New Authoritarianism - Bulent Goekay - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

The Disintegration of Euro-Atlanticism and New Authoritarianism - Bulent Goekay - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book sets out a concrete analytical and empirical framework to understand the Euro-zone crisis and the deep disintegrative tendencies of Euro-Atlantic neo-imperialism. It explores how the authoritarianism and austerity led from above in the transatlantic world cultivate right-wing populism and racist hysteria from below, especially in relation to the global power-shift to China and other emerging economies. The authors argue that ordoliberal/neo-liberal austerity cannot reverse the decline of western economies; if anything, it precipitates their downfall and the re-launching of globalization under Asian primacy. The book will appeal to students, scholars and policymakers across the fields of International Political Economy, European Politics and Critical Social and Political Theory.

Super Mad at Everything All the Time - Alison Dagnes - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Super Mad at Everything All the Time - Alison Dagnes - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Super Mad at Everything All the Time explores the polarization of American politics through the collapse of the space between politics and culture, as bolstered by omnipresent media. It seeks to explain this perfect storm of money, technology, and partisanship that has created two entirely separate news spheres: a small, enclosed circle for the right wing and a sprawling expanse for everyone else. This leads to two sets of facts, two narratives, and two loudly divergent political sides with extraordinary anger all around. Based on extensive interviews with leading media figures and politicos, this book traces the development of the media machine, giving suggestions on how to restore our national dialogue while defending our right to disagree agreeably.

Restless Cities on the Edge - Antimo Luigi Farro - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Restless Cities on the Edge - Antimo Luigi Farro - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book is a sociological description and analysis of urban collective actions, protests, resistance, and riots that started in the 1990s and continue in different forms to this date in Rome, Italy. Through participant observation, ethnographic study, and in-depth qualitative interviews-often occurring during times of protest or even violent action-this book studies a variety of urban realities: grassroots movements, anti-migrant district riots, and the daily lives of the fluid and fluctuating multi-ethnic groups in the city. Ultimately, this book gives voice to some of the protagonists involved, proposing interpretations to each reality described, but also making cross-connections with politics and migration when pertinent. It offers a new understanding of urban collective actions cognizant of the ''common goods'', but also of the emergence of new right-wing populism.

The Growth of Populism in the Political Mainstream - Jakob Schwoerer - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

The Growth of Populism in the Political Mainstream - Jakob Schwoerer - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book examines the populist communication of mainstream parties in Germany, Austria, Italy, and Spain. For a long time, populist and radical right parties have been the main subject of investigation in academic research. Yet, how mainstream parties react to the rise of such actors is less known. Scholars assume a "populist Zeitgeist", a populist contagion claiming that the political mainstream actively engages in populist and nativist discourses. The author tests this widespread assumption analyzing whether center-left and center-right mainstream parties adopt populist messages, as well as content related to the leftist and right-wing host ideologies of populist actors. Therefore, this book is a must-read for scholars, students, and researchers of political science and electoral studies, as well as policy-makers and practitioners interested in a better understanding of populism and populist communication.

A Rumor about the Jews - Stephen Eric Bronner - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

A Rumor about the Jews - Stephen Eric Bronner - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

In its portrayal of Judaism as a worldwide conspiracy dedicated to the destruction of Christian civilization, the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion remains one of the most infamous documents ever written. Despite being proven a crude forgery, the pamphlet managed to pervade twentieth-century thinking, often being twisted to suit its handlers'' purposes, and to justify the most extreme persecution of the Jews. In A Rumor About the Jews , Stephen Eric Bronner provides a history of this notorious fabrication-one which has renewed salience in a "post truth" society dominated by "fake news"-and explores its influence on right-wing movements throughout the twentieth century and the ongoing appeal of bigotry. This new edition of Bronner''s 2000 classic (described by Kirkus as "the best short book on anti-Semitism") expands the arguments of the first edition, bringing the work up to date in a new political context.

Taghi Erani, a Polymath in Interwar Berlin - Younes Jalali - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Taghi Erani, a Polymath in Interwar Berlin - Younes Jalali - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

A prominent civil servant, scientist, and intellectual, Taghi Erani was a pivotal figure in interwar Iran. Witness to two of the major political upheavals in the twentieth century-the rise of Pahlavi and the collapse of the Weimar Republic-he turned from fundamental science to leftwing activism and pacifism, leading to his arrest and death in prison. Younes Jalali traces his journey from Tehran to Berlin, where in the 1920s he crossed paths with the greatest German scientists and scholars of his day, including Max Planck, Albert Einstein, and Friedrich Rosen, and published seminal works on psychology and political philosophy. In the 1930s, as Reza Shah pursued rapprochement with the Third Reich, Taghi Erani was caught up in a crackdown on left-wing and pro-labor activists. His life and death offer a unique lens through which to view modern Iranian intellectual and political history.

The Politics of Othering in the United States and Canada - Allan Laine Kagedan - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

The Politics of Othering in the United States and Canada - Allan Laine Kagedan - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book analyses the politics of othering in the USA and Canada from the nineteenth century to the present day. It outlines the basis in human behaviour for ''disliking the unlike'', which can take the form of ethnocentrism, racism and xenophobia, and shows how politicians take advantage of this human tendency. Seven case studies explore the use of political othering towards minority groups: Indigenous peoples, Jews, Japanese, those with left-wing views, LGBTQ individuals, Blacks, and Muslims. The book argues that prior to World War II, and with the significant exception of Blacks, the politics of othering was stronger in Canada than in the USA. After World War II, the situation reversed and the politics of othering was practiced more in the USA than in Canada. Lastly, the book explains how public policy and international issues prompted this change, discusses future trends in political othering, and offers ideas for promoting inclusion over othering.

Diversity in Decline? - Arjun Tremblay - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Diversity in Decline? - Arjun Tremblay - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

In this book, Arjun Tremblay considers the future of multiculturalism, contextualised within an ideological and political shift to the right. Is there any hope that multiculturalism will survive alongside the rise of the political right across democracies? How can policy makers continue to recognize and to accommodate minorities in an increasingly inhospitable ideological environment? Based on evidence from three case studies, Tremblay develops a hypothesis of multicultural outcomes, arguing that while the threat to multiculturalism is real, there still is hope, and that not only is the fate of minority rights in liberal democracies far from sealed, but it may still be possible to further protect the rights of immigrant and other minority groups in years to come. In order to do this, proponents of diversity politics may need to reconceptualise multiculturalism and other minority rights along instrumental lines as a means to fulfil policy objectives above and beyond the recognition and accommodation of immigrant minorities. This will be an important read for scholars interested in minority rights, multiculturalism, diversity politics, comparative politics, institutionalism, right-wing and far-right studies, and public policy.

Critical Theory and the Humanities in the Age of the Alt-Right - - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Critical Theory and the Humanities in the Age of the Alt-Right - - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This edited collection uses critical theory in order to understand the rise of the Alt-Right and the election of Donald Trump-and, in doing so, to assert the necessity and value of various disciplines within the humanities. While neoliberal mainstream culture has expressed shock at the seemingly expeditious rise of the Alt-Right movement and the outcome of the 2016 United States presidential election, a rich tradition of theory may not only explain the occurrence of this "phenomenon," but may also chart an alternative understanding of the movement, revealing the persistence of right-wing populism throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Though the humanities have seen themselves undervalued and under attack in recent years, the historical and cultural contextualization of the current moment via theory is a means of reaffirming the value of the humanities in teaching the ever-important and multifaceted skill of critical literacy. This book re-affirms the humanities, particularly the study of literature, theory, and philosophy, through questions such as how the humanities can help us understand the here and now.

Psycho-Politics between the World Wars - David Freis - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Psycho-Politics between the World Wars - David Freis - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book is about the psycho-political visions and programmes in early-twentieth century Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Amidst the political and social unrest that followed the First World War, psychiatrists attempted to use their clinical insights to understand, diagnose, and treat society at large. The book uses a variety of published and unpublished sources to retrace major debates, protagonists, and networks involved in the redrawing of the boundaries of psychiatry''s sphere of authority. The book is based on three interconnected case studies: the overt pathologisation of the 1918/19 revolution led by right-wing German psychiatrists; the project of medical expansionism under the label of ''applied psychiatry'' in inter-war Vienna; and the attempt to unite and implement different approaches to psychiatric prophylaxis in the movement for mental hygiene. By exploring these histories, the book also sheds light on the emergence of ideas that still shape the field to the present day and shows the close connection between utopian promises and the worst abuses of psychiatry.
