Transnationalisation processes on the far-right

Abstract

The increasing transnational links of the far right in Europe and beyond have been a notable development of the past decade. This panel includes papers that look at these transnationalization processes from different perspectives: issues, ideology, and frames; political communication; and party and movement strategies. In doing so, the panel features papers that focus on a range of actors, from publics to extra-parliamentary actors to political parties, both within and outside the European Union. Specifically, the authors examine questions such as how online active publics of the populist radical right contribute to its transnationalisation; how right-wing extremist ideas and violence spread internationally; which transnational discursive strategies radical right parties adopt towards liberal democracy and the rule of law; how transnationalisation efforts can be part of a radical right party’s domestic strategy; and how and why right-wing populists cooperate across continents. Through these five papers, the panel’s aim is to provide both an overview of how transnationalization is developing on the far right, along with offering in-depth accounts of some of its key elements.
