Report Abstract:
Report “Contemporary far-rights. Right radicalism in Europe: ideology, social basis, prospects” was prepared in 2018 by leading European experts within joint global project “European Tolerance Forum”, implemented by several non-governmental expert organizations of the EU, Russia and Ukraine. The project aims to monitor and study xenophobia, radicalism and hate crimes in 10 countries of the continent – in Hungary, Britain, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Ukraine and France.
The report on the right European radicalism answers a whole series of questions that are of concern today not only for researchers but also for politicians and common people: what is the social basis of modern right-wing radicalism, what are the objective prerequisites and possible directions for its development, what underlies this ideology, what are the sources financing of right-wing radical organizations, and who are their leaders?
The data was prepared by of researchers from a number of European universities and research centers, who participated in the “European Tolerance Forum” project.
