Summary:
In The New Politics of the Right, a top-notch array of scholars
analyzes the recent wave of right-wing populist organization in four
different regions of the world: Western Europe, North America, South
Asia, and Australia/New Zealand. Each chapter provides a brief
history of right-wing activity in that given country, an examination
of the right-wing program, a discussion of its support, and an
account of its impact on the established political parties. The
authors then offer chilling predictions of what to expect in the
future, given continued upheavals in the global economy. The New
Politics of the Right is a comprehensive look at the dangerous spread
of right-wing radicalism throughout the "free" world.
