Radical right populism

Radical right-wing movements: Who, when, how and why?

“…Similar to these explanations of right-wing movements, research on radical right political parties that has focused on their emergence and growth (for recent overviews on the scholarship on radical right parties, see e.g. Golder, 2016;Muis and Immerzeel, 2016) has also stressed the importance of the specific personality traits of right-wing leaders and of the value orientations of their supporters (e.g. levels of trust in representative institutions, xenophobia, orientation towards immigration; see Norris, 2005;Rydgren, 2012).…”

“…), and argued that, despite the increased academic attention, the debate around the causes of the radical right remains controversial. As Muis and Immerzeel (2016) notice, with reference to demand-side factors: 'their failure to provide an overall explanation is clear from even a simple glance at the clear contrasts in radical-right fortunes found between neighbouring states which appear to share similar cultural values, post-industrial service-sector economies, and comparable institutions of representative democracy' (see also Norris, 2005). In the USA, too, while there has been voluminous scholarship on radical rightist movements in recent years, there remain significant gaps and opportunities for future research, for example the relationship of these movements to the spaces, networks and subcultures that surround them (Blee and Creasap, 2010).…”

“…The urgent need for this is reflected in the literature on radical right political parties, where 'it has become clear that a complete and satisfying explanation for PRR popularity and presence in the political system needs to go beyond the demand-side mode' and '[i]t is difficult to see how [current explanations] could explain short-term fluctuations within countries or large differences between otherwise mostly similar countries' (Muis and Immerzeel, 2016). Future research adopting a 'multi-level' framework for the explanation of the phenomenon (considering actors and circumstances together), which also considers the multifaceted nature of the radical right milieu (i.e.…”

“…Muis and Immerzeel, 2016), the literature on the radical right has been focused mainly on political parties, elections and electoral behaviour (e.g. Carter, 2005;Ignazi, 2003;Norris, 2005), paying little attention to the non-partisan milieu and cultural phenomena that surround (and often support) the success of radical parties.…”

La retórica de lo extremo en la ultraderecha chilena

“…Por último, se da un apego a la ley y el orden, o sea al mantenimiento de un sistema legal estricto y la aplicación rigurosa de las reglas (Mudde, 2000, p. 177). En suma, pese a la diferencia de designaciones de la extrema derecha contemporánea (derecha populista radical, populismo xenófobo, nacionalismo populista o derecha radical), cabe reconocer algunos rasgos característicos de su marco ideológico: en primer lugar, la perspectiva de cierto nativismo, la noción exclusivista y etnonacionalista de la ciudadanía y su posición antiinmigración; en segundo lugar, la retórica populista y antiestablishment, que divide a la sociedad entre el pueblo y la élite corrupta; por último, el autoritarismo, el apego a la ley y el orden, el conformismo y la sumisión a los valores tradicionales (Muis e Immerzeel, 2016).…”
