Right-Wing Alternative Media

Right-Wing Alternative Media

This book offers a fresh perspective on central questions related to right-wing alternative media: Can right-wing media be alternative? Why do they exist? Are they a threat to the existing order and what have the reactions been from mainstream politicians and media actors?The rise and success of right-wing populism in the political life of many western countries along with several new and apparently successful alternative media operations on the right has caused surprise and confusion among researchers and debaters. How should this challenge to mainstream politics and media be understood? Journalistic political and academic discourse has struggled to explain these tendencies and tend to focus on sensational and extreme examples with little attention directed towards other aspects. This book critically discusses existing theoretical frameworks related to alternative media in general analysing a wide scope of cases to illustrate the diversity of voices in alternative media on the right and highlighting the importance of intellectual coolness and common sense in discussions about this important but ideologically and politically charged area. An important addition to the current discourse of contemporary media Right-Wing Alternative Media is ideal for researchers students and anyone interested in politics and public discourse.

Soldiers and Students A Study of Right- and Left-Wing Radicals

Soldiers and Students A Study of Right- and Left-Wing Radicals

Soldiers and Students (1975) adopts an original approach to the confrontation of deprived and possessing parties under conditions of scarcity. With reference to the course of conflict the actions of the competing parties are shown to be interlinked yet the difference between their strategies are clearly defined. Right-wing radicalism is treated through a study of military intervention in domestic politics; left-wing radicalism through analysis of student radicalism. The case studies are centred on recent Dutch history but the theoretical perspective underlying the argument is essentially comparative. Thus Dutch military responses to the decolonisation of Indonesia serve to illustrate the strategies of a military apparatus on the brink of politicisation radicalism among Dutch students in the sixties offers the empirical reference for the analysis of left-wing radicalism. | Soldiers and Students A Study of Right- and Left-Wing Radicals

Argentina’s Right-Wing Universe During the Democratic Period (1983–2023) Processes Actors and Issues

Argentina’s Right-Wing Universe During the Democratic Period (1983–2023) Processes Actors and Issues

Argentina’s Right-Wing Universe During the Democratic Period provides a comprehensive analysis of the course of right-wing politics in the country in the last 40 years. In 1983 after the fall of a violent military regime Argentina began the longest period of democratic stability in its history—40 years marked by economic institutional social and political crises. This book examines the trajectory of the different right-wing organisations and ideological developments during these years seeking to understand both the distinctions and the continuities that lie beneath its metamorphoses. Argentina has always acted as a laboratory in which to appreciate how the major problems and questions that concern those who have studied the right-wing in recent decades are translated into a particular political culture. In an international scenario marked by the social and political growth of different right-wing movements some of which pose a threat to liberal democracies the study of the Argentine case can provide greater clarity and a different perspective on problems that transcend this specific national case. This book will be of interest to scholars of Argentinian and Latin American politics and history as well as specialists on the comparative politics of the radical right. | Argentina’s Right-Wing Universe During the Democratic Period (1983–2023) Processes Actors and Issues

Maelstrom Christian Dominionism and Far-Right Insurgence

Maelstrom Christian Dominionism and Far-Right Insurgence

Maelstrom: Christian Dominionism and Far-Right Insurgence illuminates the latest outbreak of right-wing extremism in America. This book reviews the cyclical nature of right-wing resurgences in American history dismisses the appropriateness of the word “fascism” to explain them and then describes in depth the goal of “reconstructing” American institutions on the basis of biblical principles. It critiques the popular view that far-right politics is carried by stupid socially isolated nuts. To this end it discusses the logicality of the “big lie” and examines in detail how people are recruited into the far-right by entertaining the theories of authoritarianism and resource mobilization. Finally it characterizes how the ends-oriented rationality of far-right activists differs from the mini-max criterion of rationality utilized by the ordinary person. This can motivate them to be violent and can frustrate efforts by the government to control them. | Maelstrom Christian Dominionism and Far-Right Insurgence

The Populism-Euroscepticism Nexus A Discursive Comparative Analysis of Germany and Spain

The Populism-Euroscepticism Nexus A Discursive Comparative Analysis of Germany and Spain

This book explores the modes of European Union (EU) contestation which are mobilized by radical parties and seeks to unearth the relationship of such contestation with populist discourses. It looks specifically at how rightist and leftist parties articulate populist discourses with representations and problematizations of Europe and the EU by examining the left-wing Podemos in Spain and the right-wing Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) in Germany. It argues that radical parties also build their Euroscepticism on other hegemonic discourses and populism is only one possible discursive articulation to mobilize the contestation of the EU. It examines whether populism discourses may serve (or not) as a stimulus for EU contestation and as such shows the implications that this may have for the persistence of Euroscepticism in Western European democracies. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of radical parties democracy democratic and political theory populism Euroscepticism discourse studies and more broadly to comparative politics and European studies. | The Populism-Euroscepticism Nexus A Discursive Comparative Analysis of Germany and Spain

Nationalism and the Body Politic

Nationalism and the Body Politic

This volume aims to question the recent revival of neo-nationalist policies in the light of what unconscious fantasies are involved in these developments. It examines both recent movements of right-wing extremism and the way in which rearticulated neo-ethnic ideas have been adopted by mainstream politicians and in mainstream public discourse. Politicians from other than the right-wing populist parties have tended to resist specific ways of talking that are considered too extremist rather than their underlying frame of interpretation. Governments across Europe have adopted anti-immigrant and anti-Roma policies. Xenophobia and hostility towards 'others' is on the rise along with appeals to Tradition and Security. 'Cultures of fear' are linked with fantasies of fusion or 'imagined sameness'. Alongside the image of the nation as a mother and/or father Reich (1933) called attention to the fantasy of the nation as a body echoed in Money-Kyrle's (1939) characterization of 'group hypochondria' in connection with the burning of witches and heretics. | Nationalism and the Body Politic

National Regeneration in Vichy France Ideas and Policies 1930–1944

National Regeneration in Vichy France Ideas and Policies 1930–1944

The creators of the Vichy regime did not intend merely to shield France from the worst effects of military defeat and occupation; rather the leaders of Vichy were inspired by a will to regenerate France to establish an authoritarian new order that would repair the degenerative effects of parliamentary democracy and liberal society. Their plan to effect this change took the form of a far-reaching programme they called the National Revolution. This is the first study of the National Revolution as the expression of Vichy's ideology and aims. It reveals the variety and complexity of both right wing and other strands of French thought in the context of the turbulent years of the 1930s - when Vichy's history really begins - and under the Occupation when internal rivalries and divisions as well as the pressures of war doomed Vichy's programme of national regeneration. The book is structured around a consideration of the rhetoric of right-wing ideology and such key catchwords as 'decadence' 'action' 'order' 'realism' and 'new man' and shows how these phrases only served to mask the political and ideological incoherence of the Vichy government. | National Regeneration in Vichy France Ideas and Policies 1930–1944

Rethinking Multilateralism in Foreign Aid Beyond the Neoliberal Hegemony

Rethinking Multilateralism in Foreign Aid Beyond the Neoliberal Hegemony

This edited book provides a contemporary critical and thought-provoking analysis of the internal and external threats to Western multilateral development finance in the twenty-first century. It draws on the expertise of scholars with a range of backgrounds providing a critical exploration of the neoliberal multilateral development aid. The contributions focus on how Western institutions have historically dominated development aid and juxtapose this hegemony with the recent challenges from right-wing populist and the Beijing Consensus ideologies and practices. This book argues that the rise of right-wing populism has brought internal challenges to traditional powers within the multilateral development system. External challenges arise from the influence of China and regional development banks by providing alternatives to established Western dominated aid sources and architecture. From this vantagepoint Rethinking Multilateralism in Foreign Aid puts forward new ideas for addressing the current global social political and economic challenges concerning multilateral development aid. This book will be of interest to researchers academics and students in the field of International Development and Global Governance decision-makers at government level as well as to those working in international aid institutions regional and bilateral aid agencies and non-governmental organisations. | Rethinking Multilateralism in Foreign Aid Beyond the Neoliberal Hegemony

The White Terror Antisemitic and Political Violence in Hungary 1919-1921

The White Terror Antisemitic and Political Violence in Hungary 1919-1921

The White Terror was a movement of right-wing militias that for two years actively tracked down tortured and murdered members of the Jewish community as well as former supporters of the short-lived Council Republic in the years following World War I. It can be argued that this example of a programme of virulent antisemitism laid the foundations for Hungarian participation in the Holocaust. Given the rightward shift of Hungarian politics today this book has a particular resonance in re-examining the social and historical context of the White Terror. | The White Terror Antisemitic and Political Violence in Hungary 1919-1921

Political Discourse as Dialogue A Latin American Perspective

Political Discourse as Dialogue A Latin American Perspective

We are witnessing the collapse of democracies in many parts of the world and a general tendency to the resurgence of right-wing and left-wing populisms led by authoritarian leaders. This book centres on the political dialogue in one of these democracies. The focus is on Venezuela the rich Latin American oil producing country and its transformation from a stable democracy to a very unstable and controversial revolution in which the dialogue has been occupied by only one party for 18 years. The central characters of the book are Hugo Chávez who remained in power for 14 years as the main speaker and controller and the people who either followed or opposed him in Venezuela and other countries. Contrary to critical analyses which are mainly based on social representations that conceive dialogue as implicit or normative this book proposes a dialogue-centred approach which articulates linguistics conversation analysis socio-pragmatics and political science from a critical perspective and offers the theoretical foundations and procedures for analysing micro dialogues between specific persons and the macro social dialogue which unveils the processes of domination and resistance to power. The book will be useful for scholars and students of linguistics media communication studies and political science wishing to learn more about dialogue in political interaction. | Political Discourse as Dialogue A Latin American Perspective

Anti-Gender Politics in the Populist Moment

Anti-Gender Politics in the Populist Moment

This book charts the new phase of global struggles around gender equality and sexual democracy: the ultraconservative mobilization against gender ideology and feminist efforts to counteract it. It argues that anti-gender campaigns which emerged around 2010 in Europe are not a simple continuation of the anti-feminist backlash dating back to the 1970s but part of a new political configuration. Opposition to gender has become a key element of the rise of right-wing populism which successfully harnesses the anxiety shame and anger caused by neoliberalism and threatens to destroy liberal democracy. Anti-Gender Politics in the Populist Moment offers a novel conceptualization of the relationship between the ultraconservative anti-gender movement and right-wing populist parties examining the opportunistic synergy between these actors. The authors map the anti-gender campaigns as a global movement putting the Polish case in a comparative perspective. They show that the anti-gender rhetoric is best understood as a reactionary critique of neoliberalism as a socio-cultural formation. The book also studies the recent wave of feminist mass mobilizations viewing the transnational revolt of women as a left populist movement. This is an important study for those doing research in politics cultural studies gender and sexuality studies and sociology. It will also be useful for activists and policy makers.

Foreign Fighters in Ukraine The Brown–Red Cocktail

Foreign Fighters in Ukraine The Brown–Red Cocktail

Foreign Fighters in Ukraine is the first comprehensive academic study taking an in-depth look at foreigners who have chosen to fight in the conflict in Ukraine. While there has been considerable focus in policy security and academic circles on the threat from returning jihadists – so-called returnee foreign terrorist fighters – the same danger from right-wing but not essentially terrorist extremists and others has been largely overlooked. As Westerners rushed to join the nascent Caliphate in Syria/Iraq others simultaneously traveled to another foreign war on what many would call Europe’s doorstep: the Russo-Ukrainian war. This book unmasks this largely unknown group of fighters as the author dives into the fighters’ ideological and social backgrounds their motivations for joining the conflict their travails on the way there and their battle record in Eastern Ukraine. To a large extent based on interviews with the fighters themselves it is a study on how and why men risk their lives while fighting a foreign war – and attract the attention of security services at home upon their return. Particularly given the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 and the growing interest in far-right violence worldwide the book evaluates whether these returnees constitute another security threat to the West. This volume will be of interest to all those researching small wars terrorism peace and conflict studies and right-wing extremism. | Foreign Fighters in Ukraine The Brown–Red Cocktail

The Gaullist Phenomenon The Gaullist Movement in the Fifth Republic

The Gaullist Phenomenon The Gaullist Movement in the Fifth Republic

Books on gaullism – or more precisely books on General de Gaulle – are not uncommon. Originally published in English in 1971 this claimed to be the first book of this sort on gaullism as a political force within the French political system. Since the publication of his work on the Union pour la nouvelle République Jean Charlot had become known as one of the few objective experts on gaullism. His knowledge of the British political system had helped him to appreciate the nature of the gaullist party which he saw from the first not as a transient party linked to the political career of General de Gaulle but as a major modern right-wing party comparable to the Conservative Party in Britain. In this book he demonstrates how the gaullist movement is a ‘voter-oriented’ party the first that France had really ever known. The strength of gaullism lies in the electorate which had fully accepted gaullist economic policies the institutional changes introduced under the Republic and the party’s foreign policy. This voter-oriented party had fundamentally changed the French party system. A majority party since 1962 the gaullist movement would force the left to regroup within a left-wing voter-oriented party if it did not want to face political sterility. Jean Charlot was one of the few specialists to publish an article just after the referendum (Le Monde May 2 1969) forecasting that the departure of General de Gaulle did not foreshadow the end of gaullism as a major political force. | The Gaullist Phenomenon The Gaullist Movement in the Fifth Republic

The Political Right and Equality Turning Back the Tide of Egalitarian Modernity

The Political Right and Equality Turning Back the Tide of Egalitarian Modernity

McManus presents an intellectual history of the conservative and reactionary tradition stretching from Aristotle and Filmer to Alexander Dugin and Patrick Deneen. Providing a comprehensive critical genealogy of the intellectual political right McManus traces its core to a nostalgia for the hierarchical cosmos of antiquarian and scholastic thinking. The yearning for a shared vision of the universe where each part of reality has its place maps onto the conservative admiration for orderly political and social stratification. It stamps even the more moderate forms of liberal conservatism which emerged in the aftermath of the revolutionary 18th century as the political right struggled to accept and later master first the politics of liberal capitalism and later universal suffrage. In its most radical forms this nostalgia for an orderly and hierarchical existence can harden into a resentment at the perceived shallowness of liberal modernity. McManus argues for those who support the project of modernity to commit themselves to better understanding the depth of the political right’s critiques many of which expose uncomfortable but solvable problems with the quest for equality and freedom. A critical guide to the history of conservative and reactionary thought for students and scholars of political science and political history. While there are a lot of competing explanations for the contemporary rise of right-wing forces Matt McManus’ new book suggests that it is hostility to equality that actually unites the right. Zeroing in on key intellectuals and writers McManus in a sharply written text offers a compelling explanation for the disproportionate intensity of right-wing grievance politics. | The Political Right and Equality Turning Back the Tide of Egalitarian Modernity

The Chinese Machiavelli 3000 Years of Chinese Statecraft

The Chinese Machiavelli 3000 Years of Chinese Statecraft

Machiavelli drew on 2000 years of history to develop theories on how to make war how to win battles and how to gain power and keep it. Using Machiavelli as a springboard Dennis and Ching Ping Bloodworth boldly and adroitly map out 3000 years of Chinese political-military history-from Confucius to Mao Zedong-using Machiavell's discourse of power politics. They reveal a pageantry of Chinese historical figures from wise strategists heroic generals crafty statesmen and ruthless emperors to brave knights-errant and from stately Confucian philosophers to shrewd cunning Legalist thinkers without the usual Confucian restraint. The Chinese Machiavelli intends to help Western readers who may be puzzled by Chinese diplomatic and military strategy understand the principles that have guided both past and present Chinese leaders. For instance why have modern communist Chinese leaders often befriended right-wing European politicians who are out of office rather than left-wing leaders in power? Why did they entertain President Nixon while the United States was at war with North Vietnam? Within the framework of a chronological history concentrating on power politics and using the social and cultural scene as a backdrop the Bloodworths use China's long history to find answers. Peter Li's preface for this new edition explains the structure of the book and offers a penetrating analysis of the authors' style and method. Although The Chinese Machiavelli is authored for the general public rather than for the specialist the latter will also benefit from reading this history. The authors describe the continuity of Chinese history and reveal how knowledge of China's past sheds light on the political behavior of China's rulers today. | The Chinese Machiavelli 3000 Years of Chinese Statecraft
