‘This book brings together leading scholars on the far right and provides a timely comparative perspective across different countries and contexts. The collection discusses key developments and threats, as well as historic roots of far right activism. It will be of great value both for those trying to get a first overview on the topic and scholars well immersed in the state of the art.’
