Description: In The New Politics of the Right, a top-notch array of scholars analyzes the recent wave of right-wing populist organization in four different regions of the world: Western Europe, North America, South Asia, and Australia/New Zealand. Each chapter provides a brief history of right-wing activity in that given country, an examination of the right-wing program, a discussion of its support, and an account of its impact on the established political parties.

The authors then offer chilling predictions of what to expect in the future, given continued upheavals in the global economy. The New Politics of the Right is a comprehensive look at the dangerous spread of right-wing radicalism throughout the "free" world.
