Abstract

Far-right politics is not only party politics: Following calls to study the far right beyond the electoral arena, this panel focuses on far-right social activism in the protest arena. What are the action repertoires of these actors, on the streets and online? In studying this fundamental question from a variety of perspectives, the papers presented cover pressing issues such as political opportunities, media consumption, the Covid-19 pandemic, and conspiracy theory.
