Right-Wing Extremist Hatred and Violence in Europe

Abstract

The new “Center for Research on Extremism (C-REX): Rightwing Extremism, Hate Crime and Political Violence” at the University of Oslo presents five papers from its research portfolio. C-REX was established on the background of the right-wing terrorist attacks in Norway on 22 July 2011 and the rising tide of hatred towards refugees and Muslims in Europe. There is a strongly felt need to develop new research-based knowledge about a phenomenon which has similarities with right-wing extremist movements in the past but comes in new transformations. Studying such phenomena may profit from cross-disciplinary perspectives. The panel consists of a political scientist, a historian, a social anthropologist, two sociologists and a historian of religions, and is chaired by a social anthropologist turned criminologist.
