Europe for the Europeans
The Foreign and Security Policy of the Populist Radical Right
Political Landscape and Rising Tensions
For the last two decades the number of political organizations on the far right, neo-populist right and neo-conservative right has been growing. Along with the mounting electoral success for many of the parties there has also been a growing disenchantment with the political class which has led to a revolt against the current political establishment.
Impact of Global Events and Immigration
The events of September 11, 2001 and the War on Terror have further aggravated tensions within the populations between those who feel they are the legitimate citizens of the state and those who are considered outsiders. The recent expansion of the EU's borders has also brought on fears of a surge of both legal and illegal immigration. All these factors have led to a growing number of cases of harassment and outbursts of violence aimed at asylum seekers and ethnic minorities in Europe.
Purpose of the Book
This book measures the effects of neo-populist groups on the current political establishment and illustrates how much political appeal neo-populist views have on making current political policy.
