This book critically evaluates the rise of the far-right in Greece,
detailing the legal context in which to understand both the
emergence of Golden Dawn, the far-right's largest grouping, and the
2020 court decision, in which it was deemed to be a criminal
organisation. Golden Dawn was a political party which, for years,
also functioned as a violent subculture movement, with limited to
no interference by the state. This book sets out the background to
its rise in Greece, tracing its development from the post-Junta
era. At the same time, the book provides an assessment of the legal
framework within which the far-right has operated, and the legal
tools available to tackle it - including criminal law,
non-discrimination law, the laws governing political parties and
the public order framework, and the country's international and
European obligations. Golden Dawn functioned as both a political
party and violent entity until its leadership and parliamentary
members were found guilty of leading and participating in a
criminal organisation. This book demonstrates that the state of
impunity in which Golden Dawn's violent hit squads functioned was
both a facilitating factor for its rise, and potentially for its
demise, as the group potentially felt untouchable. And its
attention to how Greek Law has tackled, and failed to tackle,
Golden Dawn offers a timely and more generally useful assessment of
how legislation, courts and policies can best challenge the
far-right. This book will be of interest to those teaching and
studying in law and politics, as well as more others, concerned
with the rise of the far right and violent organizations,
especially in Europe.
