Rise of the Far Right in Europe

The results of the last European Elections of 2014 confirmed the rise of right and far right 'populist' parties across the EU. The success of a range of parties, such as Denmark's Dansk Folskeparti, Slovenia's Slovenska demokratska stranka, France's Front National, Greece's Golden Dawn, the United Kingdom Independence Party, Beppe Grillo's Five Star Movement in Italy and the Austrian FP�, has been perceived as a political wave which is transforming the face of the European Parliament, and challenging at some level the hegemony of the 'big four' well-established European political forces that lead the Strasbourg's assembly: the ALDE, EPP, S&D and Greens/ALE.

As 'populism' has become a major issue in many EU countries, this collection aims to provide a critical understanding of related trends and recommend ways in which they can be challenged both in policy and praxis, by using the gender-race-ethnicity-sexual orientation intersectionality approach.This international volume combines extensive transnational comparative data analysis, as well as research at discursive, attitudinal and behavioural levels.

Rezultatele ultimelor alegeri europene din 2014 au confirmat cresterea partidelor „populiste” de dreapta si de extrema dreapta in intreaga UE. Succesul unei serii de partide, precum Danemarca Dansk Folskeparti, Slovenia Slovenska demokratska stranka, Frontul National al Frantei, Ziua de Aur a Greciei, Partidul pentru Independenta Regatului Unit, Miscarea de cinci stele a lui Beppe Grillo in Italia si FP austriaca, au fost percepute ca fiind un val politic care transforma fata Parlamentului European si provoaca la un anumit nivel hegemonia „celor patru mari” forte politice europene bine stabilite care conduc adunarea de la Strasbourg: ALDE, PPE, S&D si Verzii / ALE. „populismul” a devenit o problema majora in multe tari din UE, aceasta colectie isi propune sa ofere o intelegere critica a tendintelor conexe si sa recomande modalitati prin care acestea pot fi contestate atat in politica, cat si in practica, prin utilizarea genului-rasa-etnie-orientare sexuala Acest volum international combina o analiza comparativa transnationala extinsa a datelor, precum si cercetari la niveluri discursive, atitudinale si comportamentale.
