Radical voters and parties

This course delves into the emergence of right-wing parties, exploring the factors contributing to their rise and assessing their current impact on national and European politics. By paying attention to the situation in diverse European and non-European nations, in this course we will dissect the differences between populism and extremism. In doing so, we will also learn about the complex interplay of globalization, societal modernization, xenophobia, economic insecurity, religion, and Euroscepticism that shapes the trajectory of right-wing politics. Using interactive dynamics, students will step into the roles of policy advisors, party strategists, and directors of electoral campaigns. This approach aims to deepen understanding of how radical voters are mobilized and how radical parties leverage discontent.
