Global Heating and the Australian Far Right

Global Heating and the Australian Far Right

Global Heating and the Australian Far Right examines the environmental politics of far-right actors and movements in Australia exploring their broader political context and responses to climate change. The book traces the development of far-right pseudo-environmentalism and territorial politics from colonial genocide and Australian nationalism to extreme-right political violence. Through a critical analysis of news and social media it reveals how denialist and resignatory attitudes towards climate change operate alongside extreme right accelerationism in a wider Australian political context characterised by reactionary fossil fuel politics and neoliberal New Right climate change agendas. The authors scrutinise the manipulation of environmental politics by contemporary Australian far- and extreme-right actors in cross-national online media. They also assess the political-ideological context of the contemporary far right addressing intergovernmental approaches to security threats connected to the far right and climate change and the emergence of radical environmentalist traditions in ‘New Catastrophism’ literature. The conclusion synthesises key insights analysing the mainstreaming of ethnonationalist and authoritarian responses to global heating and potential future trajectories of far-right movements exploiting the climate crisis. It also emphasises the necessity for radical political alternatives to counter the far right’s exploitation of climate change. This book will be of interest to researchers of climate change the far right neoliberal capitalism extremism and Australian politics.

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 Far Left in Australia since 1945

The Far Left in Australia since 1945

The far left in Australia had significant effects on post-war politics culture and society. The Communist Party of Australia (CPA) ended World War II with some 20 000 members and despite the harsh and vitriolic Cold War climate of the 1950s seeded or provided impetus for the re-emergence of other movements. Radicals subscribing to ideologies beyond the Soviet orbit – Maoists Trotskyists anarchists and others – also created parties and organisations and led movements. All of these different far left parties and movements changed and shifted during time responding to one political crisis or another but they remained steadfastly devoted to a better world. This collection bringing together 14 chapters from leading and emerging figures in the Australian and international historical profession for the first time charts some of these significant moments and interventions revealing the Australian far left’s often forgotten contribution to the nation’s history. | The Far Left in Australia since 1945

The Italian Far Right from 1945 to the Russia-Ukraine Conflict

The Italian Far Right from 1945 to the Russia-Ukraine Conflict

The Italian Far Right from 1945 to the Russia–Ukraine Conflict provides a comprehensive account of the postwar parliamentary and extra parliamentary far right in Italy. This book explores the ideology movements and activism of the extreme right and neo- fascists. The recent victory in the Italian parliamentary elections of the ‘post-fascist’ party Fratelli d’Italia and its leader Giorgia Meloni highlights the importance of such research. The book examines why some of these movements participated with CIA- backing in the ‘Strategy of Tension’ in the years of the Cold War where terrorist actions aimed to keep Italy in NATO and prevent the Communist Party from coming to power while other extreme- right groups vehemently opposed this and what they considered the dangerous ‘Americanization’ of the country. It debunks the myth that there was a unified postwar fascist movement in Italy but instead excavates the complex battles within the extreme right as well as with their opponents from the left and the authorities. This study is necessary to clarify the history and ideological dynamics of a political area still too often shrouded in mystery and whose geopolitical role is still poorly understood and generally underestimated. The analysis is contextualized in the present day by looking at the different perspectives of the Italian far right on the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The book will be of interest to researchers of political history the Cold War and Italian history and politics. | The Italian Far Right from 1945 to the Russia-Ukraine Conflict

Liberal Roots of Far Right Activism The Anti-Islamic Movement in the 21st Century

This book explores the anti-Islamic turn and expansion of the far right in Western Europe North America and beyond from 2001 and onwards.

Greco-Buddhist Relations in the Hellenistic Far East Sources and Contexts

This book provides the first comprehensive and interdisciplinary view of the relationship between the Greeks and Buddhist communities in ancient Bactria and Northwest India from the conquests of Alexander the Great to the fall of the Indo-Greek kingdom circa 10 AD.

Far From the Truth Distance Information and Credibility in the Early Modern World

Far From the Truth Distance Information and Credibility in the Early Modern World

Information and knowledge were essential tools of early modern Europe’s global ambitions. This volume addresses a key concern that emerged as the competition for geopolitical influence increased: how could information from afar be trusted when there was no obvious strategy for verification? How did notions of doubt develop in relation to intercultural encounters? Who were those in the position to use misinformation in their favour and how did this affect trust? How in other words did distance affect credibility and which intellectual and epistemological strategies did early modern Europe devise to cope with this problem? The movement of information and its transformations in the process of gathering ordering and disseminating makes it necessary to employ both a global and a local perspective in order to understand its significance. The rise of print leading to various new forms of mediation played a crucial role everywhere inspiring theories of modernization in which media served as agents of new connections and eventually of globalization. Paradoxically during the entire period between 1500 and 1800 the demise of distance through various strategies of verification coincided with constructions of otherness that emphasized the cultural and geographical difference between Europe and the worlds it encountered. Ten leading scholars of the early modern world address the relationship between distance information and credibility from a variety of perspectives. This volume will be an essential companion to those interested in the history of knowledge and early modern encounters as well as specialists in the history of empire and print culture.

Metapolitics Algorithms and Violence New Right Activism and Terrorism in the Attention Economy

Metapolitics Algorithms and Violence New Right Activism and Terrorism in the Attention Economy

Metapolitics Algorithms and Violence argues that we need a more finegrained approach to understand contemporary far-right violence – an approach that takes language and cultural production in a digital economy seriously. This book underlines the importance of socio-political economic historical and technological context in understanding the rise of the new right. More concretely based on a digital ethnographic approach it argues that we should understand this violence and the contemporary rise of new far-right practices and actors in relation to the theoretical renewal of ‘La Nouvelle Droite’ in the 20th century; the ‘democratization’ of new right metapolitics in the 21st century as a result of the rise of digital media; and the development of a layered transnational and polycentric new right cultural niche in which far-right activists and terrorists produce identity discourse digital cultures and practices. This work will be an engaging and necessary read for researchers interested in social media digital culture far-right politics extremism and terrorism. | Metapolitics Algorithms and Violence New Right Activism and Terrorism in the Attention Economy

The Simple Wordsworth Studies in the Poems 1979-1807

The Simple Wordsworth Studies in the Poems 1979-1807

First published in 1960 this book studies Wordsworth’s ‘simple’ poems such as the Lyrical Ballads as products of a sophisticated and powerfully successful literary genius. The author aims to approach the poems as perhaps Wordsworth expected his first readers to; but as they have never been in fact. The result of this approach is to discover a Wordsworth far different to that which he has previously been presented as — the ‘Sage of Rydal’ at one extreme and a naïve perpetrator of poetical blunders at the other — and the author argues a far more exciting one. This book will be of interest to students of literature. | The Simple Wordsworth Studies in the Poems 1979-1807

Warfare in Pre-British India – 1500BCE to 1740CE

This book presents a comprehensive survey of warfare in India up to the point where the British began to dominate the sub-continent. It discusses issues such as how far was the relatively bloodless nature of pre-British Indian warfare the product of stateless Indian society? How far did technology determine the dynamics of warfare in India? Did warfare in this period have a particular Indian nature and was it ritualistic? The book considers land warfare including sieges naval warfare the impact of horses elephants and gunpowder and the differences made by the arrival of Muslim rulers and by the influx of other foreign influences and techniques. The book concludes by arguing that the presence of standing professional armies supported by centralised bureaucratic states have been underemphasised in the history of India. | Warfare in Pre-British India – 1500BCE to 1740CE
