The subject of this book is widely taught and publicly discussed
under the headlines racism, populism, and white supremacy.
Authoritarianism has for long been a well-established research
topic. This study, with its focus on a variety of political
attitudes in Germany and a theoretical background in Critical
Theory and psychoanalytic social psychology, is rather unique.

This book discusses right-wing extremism by analysing Germanophone
research on this topic for the first time in English, including
unique survey data from Germany and Austria. Highlighting how
questions of terminology can become complicated when country cases
are compared, the authors analyse theoretical and methodological
issues in relation to the question of right-wing extremism. In
Anglo-American academia, the term is often associated with fairly
rare phenomena in the form of extremist political groups, whereas
in Germany the term is often applied to a wide range of attitudes,
behaviours and parties, including those which operate more within
the mainstream political sphere. Covering an array of sub-fields
such as right-wing terrorism, iconography of the extreme right and
the Germanophone discussion on the differentiation of right-wing
populism and right-wing extremism, the authors account not only for
the centrality of right-wing extremist attitudes in Germanophone
research, but also point at its often overlooked relevance for the
phenomenon in general. Offering an important insight into the
nuanced definition of right-wing extremism across Europe and
enhancing both international debate and cross-country comparative
research, this book will be of interest to students and scholars
researching extremism, German politics and European politics more
generally.
Trade Unions and European Integration brings together pessimists
and optimists on trade unionism under the contemporary pressures of
European integration. The Great Recession has brought new attention
to structural problems of the European integration process,
specifically monetary integration; holding the potential of
disabling any trans-national co-ordination. Other authors argue
that the current crisis also poses the chance for mobilization and
new impulses for European trade unionism. This is discussed in the
volume alongside a variety of topics including bargaining
coordination, co-determination, European governance regimes, and
European wide mobilization. While the importance of the question of
how trade unionism and wage policy can, will, and should develop
under the conditions of European integration seems widely shared,
the polarization of the debate itself deserves our attention to
learn about the opposing arguments and points of view; and to
enhance academic discussion as well as consultancy to policy
makers. This volume addresses this debate by bringing together the
most distinguished voices and searching for common ground as well
as new perspectives on European trade unionism and collective
bargaining. The chapters of the volume, organised topically, are
each accompanied by a comment from a distinguished scholar,
highlighting the divisions of the debate. With this innovative
approach, this book advances the dialogue between what have become
openly opposed camps of optimists and pessimists on the future of
European integration, trade unionism and its future chances. Trade
Unions and European Integration will appeal to students and
researchers interested in fields such as European Studies,
Industrial Relations, Political Economics, Social Movements and
Sociology of Work.
