{"product_id":"far-right-politics-in-europe-jean-yves-camus-9780674971530","title":"Far-Right Politics in Europe","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Europe today, staunchly nationalist parties such as France's National Front and the Austrian Freedom Party are identified as far-right movements, though supporters seldom embrace that label. More often, \"far right\" is pejorative, used by liberals to tar these groups with the taint of Fascism, Nazism, and other discredited ideologies. Jean-Yves Camus and Nicolas Lebourg's critical look at the far right throughout Europe--from the United Kingdom to France, Germany, Poland, Italy, and elsewhere--reveals a prehistory and politics more complex than the stereotypes suggest and warns of the challenges these movements pose to the EU's liberal-democratic order. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe European far right represents a confluence of many ideologies: nationalism, socialism, anti-Semitism, authoritarianism. In the first half of the twentieth century, the radical far right achieved its apotheosis in the regimes of Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany. But these movements have evolved significantly since 1945, as \u003ci\u003eFar-Right Politics in Europe\u003c\/i\u003e makes clear. The 1980s marked a turning point in political fortunes, as national-populist parties began winning seats in European parliaments. Since the terrorist attacks of 9\/11 in the United States, a new wave has unfurled, one that is explicitly anti-immigrant and Islamophobic in outlook. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThough Europe's far-right parties differ in important respects, they are motivated by a common sense of mission: to save their homelands from what they view as the corrosive effects of multiculturalism and globalization by creating a closed-off, ethnically homogeneous society. Members of these movements are increasingly determined to gain power through legitimate electoral means. In democracies across Europe, they are succeeding.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean-Yves Camus, Nicolas Lebourg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0674971531\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674971530\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Belknap\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.80w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2017 pg. 94\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2017","brand":"Jean-Yves Camus","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45265383424255,"sku":"9780674971530","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c7bb3bec-a317-49cd-8348-55272189f8e6.jpg?v=1713420769","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/far-right-politics-in-europe-jean-yves-camus-9780674971530","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
