Political commentators were surprised at the re-emergence of right-wing parties in Western Europe in the 1970s and early 1980s given that right-wing extremists had largely disappeared from successful electoral politics after the end of the Second World War. Since their resurgence, such parties have become permanent fixtures across Europe. The Re-invention of the European Radical Right examines what accounts for their initial rise and their continued success as well as how they should be classified: are they fascist, neo-fascist, radical, extreme, or populist?
