Routledge - The Extreme Right in Europe History Book

Explore the complex history and political landscape of Western Europe with this concise introduction from Routledge. Part of The Making of the Contemporary World series, this book examines one of the most persistent facets of late twentieth-century history, politics, and society. After World War Two, the legacy of the Nazi era and the rising face of extremism created significant barriers for far right-wing parties. However, this text explains how contemporary challenges have changed that dynamic. By looking at difficult questions regarding immigration, unemployment, and law and order, the book tracks how extremist, nationalist, and populist movements have managed to emerge in recent decades. This work provides a clear overview of how these political shifts occurred across various countries. It is an essential resource for readers looking to understand the historical roots and modern developments of political extremism in Europe.
