This book investigates the dynamics of expansion and normalization of the radical right in the early twenty-first century.The radical right’s popularity with voters dramatically increased, it even enabled twice the election of Trump as a chief executive in the United States. The main focus of this volume is on the forces in a variety of nations where this occurred, and why this phenomenon happened at this point in history. This book illustrates both the diversity and commonality of the radical right. It is multidisciplinary and international. It examines the topic of the radical right resurgence from the perspectives of history, economics, political sciences, law, sociology, and applied psychoanalysis. It is comparative in that the radical right is discussed from the national perspective of the United States, France, Italy, Germany, the United Kingdom, Turkey, Iran, and Russia. It relies on empirical and theoretical outlooks to make sense of a complex subject matter.This book will be of interest to students and researchers of the radical right, populism, and extremism.
