GOVT 423 The Radical Right: Rage, Race, Conspiracy

This course explores the rise and expansion of the extreme right across the globe. Recent years have seen an explosion of far right movements – acting against democratic institutions and movements for civic equality. These movements seek to overturn the central commitments of liberal democracies and bring about radical political change. The course will dedicate particular attention to white nationalism, conspiracy theory, and the racial anxieties that fuel the far right.  [GM1, V, W]
