In person icon Far-Right and Populist Mobilization Beyond the Institutional Arena (Book Panel)

Abstract

This panel, sponsored by the ECPR Standing Group on Extremism and Democracy, discusses two books recently published by Oxford University Press: Movement Parties of the Far Right by Pietro Castelli Gattinara and Andrea L. P. Pirro and Populist Mobilization by Paris Aslanidis. Both volumes draw attention to a neglected dimension in the study of far-right and populist politics, i.e. collective and non-institutional manifestations of political struggle. Departing from different theoretical approaches and deploying wide-ranging analytical toolkits, these works delve deeper into the ‘production structure’ of different collective actors and assert the importance of mobilization in the protest arena to attain political goals.
