The cold war may be over, but there is no shortage of enemies in a
world beset by resurgent nationalism, ethnic conflict, and economic
rivalry. Right-wing extremists from David Duke to Jean-Marie Le Pen
know how to exploit the pressure points of race, religion, and
culture in a bid to keep the national and international conflict
industry cooking. Encounters with the Contemporary Radical Right
introduces us to the personalities as well as the systems of
rightist repression. It shows, in clearly written and carefully
documented essays, how radical right groups have made electoral
headway in France, Germany, and Israel while increasingly making
headlines in the United States, Great Britain, and other points
East and West. The phenomenon is by no means limited to ail
skinheads and jackboots; many official governments shelter radical
rightism or even sponsor it outright. Reflecting a broad
geographical distribution that includes Eastern Europe and the
former Soviet Union, the essays in this book lend themselves to
comparative analysis on three important dimensions: the historical
and intellectual backgrounds of various rightist groups, the way
each group fits within the context of social movements theory, and
the assessment of relative electoral participation and success. The
book goes on to outline both the patterns and peculiarities of
radical right action in the settings represented and concludes that
it is no accident that the radical right is on the rise
internationally, admonishing us of the movement's power without
overstating its potential.
