Abstract

Liberal democracy is threatened by the rise of populism and support for far-right politics across Europe and beyond. Global political, economic and environmental crises have added to widespread polarization and a decline in trust for existing public institutions. Citizenship norms are contested and framed through nationalist narratives and populist rhetoric. Which mechanisms can explain this democratic backsliding? What are the networks that foster the emergence and resilience of far-right ideologies? How are these phenomena spread beyond a nation state’s borders? By seeking answers to these questions, a light is shed on the driving forces behind de-democratization, and changing citizenship identities in the wake of democratic decline.
