 | The Longue Durée of the Far-Right: An International Historical Sociology Subjects: Politics & International Relations; Social Sciences; Political Behavior and Participation; Government; Sociology & Social Policy; Political Parties; Protest Movements; Public Opinion; Social Movements; Political Sociology; This volume brings together a number of international scholars to offer an original analysis of far-right movements and politics, challenging the existing literature through a very different methodological and theoretical perspective. The approach offered here is that of ' longue durée ' analysis, whereby the far-right is understood as an evolving subject of capitalist modernity. The authors argue that an assessment of the contemporary characteristics of the far-right needs to consider the ways in which it is a product of deeper and longer-term structures of socio-economic and political development, than, for example, the inter-war crises of capitalism. The book aims to provide a critical and theoretically-informed assessment of the history of the far-right that centres on the international as key to any understanding its evolution, and which distinguishes between the fascist and non-fascist variants as an essential precondition for comprehending the far-right presence in contemporary politics Richard Saull, Queen Mary, University of London, UK Alexander Anievas, University ofnbsp;Cambridge, UK Neil Davidson, University of Glasgow, UK Adam Fabry, Brunel University, UK |
