“…Relative to past trends in far-right extremism, such as the movement that existed in the 1980s and 1990s and even later into the 20th century, today's far-right terrorism boasts a greater number of globally diffuse connections between its adherents, even if the connections that exist are weaker than those that characterized past White power movements. 48 Although the contemporary movement has experienced internal fissures and infighting because of the complex array of objectives that motivate those with neo-Nazi, White nationalist, and White supremacist tendencies, a reorientation toward accelerationism has worked to lessen the otherwise disorganized and fractured nature of the movement. That is not to say, however, that internal divisions no longer exist, especially as we consider the transnational movement.…”

“…49 Because the movement unites a wider range of communities (or attempts to do so), disparate communities do not all see one another as natural allies. 50 Further exploring such fissures and the extent to which they disrupt the cohesion of the movement and its ability to achieve stated objectives could improve our understanding of how to best combat WITM/REMVE. Moreover, our review of the literature discussing transnational dynamics also points to a lack of attention and analysis around who is producing versus consuming WITM/REMVE propaganda; future research could contribute to clarifying trends around these dynamics.…”

Mapping White Identity Terrorism and Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremism: A Social Network Analysis of Online Activity

In this research publication, we provide a social network analysis of the global White identity terrorist movement and racially or ethnically motivated violent extremist networks. In it, we respond to congressional requirements for such a study to be completed by an independent research institute to inform government efforts to build a strategy to counter these threats. We began by reviewing existing literature on these movements to outline a baseline of knowledge and identify key gaps. We then collected and analyzed social media data from six social media platforms that host extremist content. Using this material, we developed a network map that evaluated network construction, connectivity, geographic location, and proclivity to violence. We also examined this issue in greater detail in ten countries: Canada,

“…They highlight the prevalence of anti-modernism, racism, anticapitalism and authoritarianism in extreme-right discourses and actions. Karpantschof & Mikkelsen (2016) trace activities by the radical right in Denmark and Pirro et al (2019) investigate the social networks of collective actors in the Hungarian Jobbik movement. Despite this emerging new research on RWP mobilization, we know little about the interaction between RWP movements and their opponents.…”

Right-wing populist (RWP) movements have been on the rise in Western democracies. Outside of party politics, such movements regularly organize demonstrations against political elites and minority groups. At the same time, civil society coalitions have mobilized against these movements. Yet we know little about the effect of counter-demonstrations on RWP protest activities. We derive competing theoretical expectations from previous work. On the one hand, counter-mobilization reduces mobilization because the original movement is less likely to achieve its goals (expected utility/costs). On the other hand, clashes and standoffs between opposing movements facilitate mobilization through polarization and anger (identity/emotions). We empirically analyze movementcountermovement dynamics using a new city-level event dataset on street protests by the German Pegida movement and its opponents. In our quantitative analysis, we investigate how countermobilization is associated with the onset of Pegida protests, their intensity in terms of participant numbers, and their demobilization. Counter-mobilization does not prevent protest onset, but large This article is protected by copyright.

“…Numerous studies explain the increasing public support for (populist) far right parties (e.g. Steenvoorden and Harteveld 2018;Kriesi 2014) and describe the mobilization of far right movements in Europe (Peterson 2016;Rydgren 2005;Karpantschof and Mikkelsen 2017) and the U.S. (van Dyke and Meyer 2016, Muis and Immerzeel 2017). The majority of this research focuses on single case studies or compare far right movements in similar contexts, e.g.…”

Movement adaptability in dissimilar settings: the far right in Greece and Russia

This article discusses how two similar far right movements in different political systems-Golden Dawn (GD) in democratic Greece and the Movement Against Illegal Immigration (DPNI) in authoritarian Russiaadapted their strategies and claims to better fit existing political contexts and how this affected the institutionalization of these movements. GD, a neo-Nazi movement formed in the 1980s, entered mainstream politics during the deep financial crisis of 2010, and since 2012 has consolidated its position as the third major opposition party. DPNI was founded in 2002; it had close connections with governing politicians and mobilized large xenophobic protests until it was banned in 2011. It then entered into a coalition with other far right groups under the banner of Russkie, cooperated with the liberals in the massive anti-fraud protests during 2011-2013, and tried to register as the Party of Nationalists, but failed and has now disbanded. While GD de-radicalized its anti-immigration claims to fit with the dominant discourse and exploited the financial crisis for its grass-root mobilization, DPNI changed its strategies and collaborated with its ideological opponents only after it had become very popular and faced with severe state repression. Our comparative analysis shows that far right movements adapt to their diverse environments in a manner similar to that of other anti-establishment movements regardless of contextwhether within a democratic or non-democratic regime.
