"The far right is back with a vengeance," declares a recent book by a leading expert on right-wing politics. Following decades on the fringes, far-right politicians, movements and ideas have become increasingly prominent around the world. This course will explore the fate of far-right politics after World War II and attempt to explain its recent global resurgence. We will discuss how experts understand the relationship between "mainstream" and "extremist" politics. We will also consider how national context shapes far-right movements. And we will pay attention to the tactics and strategies used by far-right actors.
