There has been a tendency amongst scholars to view Switzerland as a
unique case, and comparative scholarship on the radical right has
therefore shown little interest in the country. Yet, as the author
convincingly argues, there is little justification for maintaining
the notion of Swiss exceptionalism, and excluding the Swiss radical
right from cross-national research. His book presents the first
comprehensive study of the development of the radical right in
Switzerland since the end of the Second World War and therefore
fills a significant gap in our knowledge. It examines the role that
parties and political entrepreneurs of the populist right,
intellectuals and publications of the New Right, as well as
propagandists and militant groups of the extreme right assume in
Swiss politics and society. The author shows that post-war
Switzerland has had an electorally and discursively important
radical right since the 1960s that has exhibited continuity and
persistence in its organizations and activities. Recently, this has
resulted in the consolidation of a diverse Swiss radical right that
is now established at various levels within the political and
public arena.
