The transformation process in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE)
after 1989 is often clothed in terms of historical and geographical
categories, either as a 'return of history' or as a 'return to
Europe', or both. Either way, the radical right in CEE claims a
prominent place in this politics of return. Studies of the radical
right echo the more general concern, in analyses of the region,
with historical analogies and the role of legacies. Sometimes
parallels are discovered between the post-1989 radical right and
inter-war fascism. They imply a 'Weimarisation' of the
transformation countries and the return of the pre-socialist,
ultranationalist, or even fascist past - the 'return of history'.
Another interpretation argues that since some CEE party systems
increasingly resemble their West European counterparts, so does the
radical right, at least where it is electorally successful - the
'return to Europe'. A third line of thought states that the radical
right in the region is a phenomenon sui generis, inherently shaped
by the historical forces of state socialism and the transformation
process. As a result and in contrast to Western Europe, it is
ideologically more extreme and anti-democratic while
organisationally more a movement than a party phenomenon. This book
provides insight into the role of historical forces in the shaping
and performance of the current radical right in CEE. It
conceptualises 'legacies' both as a contextual factor, (ie: as part
of structural and cultural opportunities for new movements and
parties in the region, and as textual factors; ie: as part of the
ideological baggage of the past which is revived -- and
reinterpreted -- by the radical right). An introductory essay by
Michael Minkenberg puts the topic and the concept of legacies into
a larger research perspective. Articles by Lenka Bustikova and
Herbert Kitschelt as well as John Ishiyama employ the role of
legacies as context, whereas the contributions by Timm Beichelt,
Sarah de Lange and Simona Guerra as well as James Frusetta and Anca
Glont treat legacies as text.
