An encyclopedic survey of the tradition in Europe, focusing on the inter-related groupings, but also tracing their historical roots, and debating the key issues and themes. It outlines the far right traditions in key regions of Europe, including the Balkans and Scandinavia.

Autorentext
Paul Jackson is Professor in the History of Radicalism and Extremism at the University of Northampton who specializes in the history and contemporary dynamics of fascism and the extreme right. He is the curator of the Searchlight Archive at the university, which is one of the UK's largest collections of material related to the recent history of extreme right groups. He has engaged widely with the media, including national and international press, as well as for BBC radio and television, and he has written articles for the Guardian and the Huffington Post. He has engaged widely with policymakers, professionals and activists, including creating bespoke training packages related to risks posed by the extreme right.

Klappentext
The book is an all-embracing survey of far-right politics in Europe: origins, development and impact. It is split into two main sections, part 1 comprising a number of longer essays on national traditions, themes etc., part 2 incorporating shorter entries on specific topics (arranged A-Z), such as movements, people, events, issues, locations, publications, etc. Taken together, the articles and entries in the encyclopedia confirm that the far right in Europe remains a significant force across many countries, all the more powerful for having such powerful historical antecedents.

Drawing on both the judgement of commentators and the statements of key political players themselves, The Far Right in Europe offers both reliable information and stimulating debate. The opening section of articles, each around 10,000 words long, outlines the far right traditions in key regions of Europe - (1) Western Europe, (2) Scandinavia, (3) Central Europe, (4) Eastern Europe, (5) Southern Europe and (6) the Balkans - and debates key concepts such as: the Origins of the Far Right; the Development of the Far Right; the Ideology of the Far Right; the Far Right and Foreign Policy; the Far Right and Economics; and the Xenophobia of the Far Right. The shorter entries which follow offer precise, up-to-date information on movements, people, events, issues, locations and key publications.
