Global Social Problem of the Week: ULTRA RIGHT WING MOVEMENTS
Channel: Salvatore Babones
Date: 2016-04-18

Ultra right wing movements are on the rise in Europe.  These movements have flourished due to economic distress, rising immigration, and (perhaps most important of all) a perceived crisis of representative politics.  These movements are not likely to gain actual political power at the national level, but they do shift the terms of national political debates.  They are also dangerous in themselves for fomenting violence, intolerance, and social exclusion.
