The transnationalization and diffusion of the radical right: ideas, actions, networks

Abstract

This panel, ‘the transnationalization and diffusion of the radical right: ideas, actions and networks,’ will engage scholarship from across political science subfields studying this global moment of populist and radical right politics. Scholars agree that the transnationalization and diffusion of varieties of radicalism in Europe and beyond have been fueled by recent health, economic, political, security, and conflict developments—this panel brings together recent scholarship from social movements, comparative and American politics, and security studies to highlight and connect the diverse approaches and lingering questions that remain in studying this transnational shift. What do comparative empirical studies expose about the uses and limitations of familiar concepts to make sense of this politics? How are these networks formed and directed? What are the characteristics of mobilisation and diffusion in recent radical and far right movements? How have the ideas and organizations of the right spread across borders? What can the field of international security studies reveal about the nature of idea diffusion and the development of transnational networks?
