The Rise of the Radical Right in the Global South is the first
academic study—adopting an interdisciplinary and international
perspective—to offer a comprehensive and groundbreaking framework
for understanding the emergence and consolidation of different
radical-right movements in Global South countries in the
twenty-first century. From deforestation and the anti-vaccine
movement in Bolsonaro’s Brazil to the massacre of religious
minorities in Modi’s India, the rise of the radical right in the
Global South is in the news every day. Not long ago, some of these
countries were globally celebrated as emerging economies that
consolidated vibrant democracies. Nonetheless, they never overcame
structural problems including economic inequality, social violence,
cultural conservatism, and political authoritarianism. Featuring
case studies from Brazil, India, the Philippines, and South Africa,
and more generally from Africa and Latin America, this book
analyses future scenarios and current alternatives to this
political movement to the radical right. It proposes a shift of
focus in examining such a trend, adopting a view from the Global
South; conventional theoretical tools developed around the
experience in Global North countries are not enough. The authors
show that the radical right in the Global South should be analysed
through specific lenses, considering national historical patterns
of political and economic development and instability. They also
warn that researching these countries may differ from contexts
where democratic institutions are more reliable. This does not mean
abandoning a transnational understanding of the radical right;
rather, it calls for the opposite: the chapters examine how the
radical right is invented, adapted, modified, and resisted in
specific regions of the globe. This volume will be of interest to
all those researching the radical right and the politics of
development and the Global South.
