Merkl, Peter H., and Leonard Weinberg, eds. The revival of right wing extremism in the nineties. Routledge, 2014.

Description

Most studies of the radical right concentrate on movements in a single country, neglecting to some extent the international dimensions of right-wing extremism. Here, Merkl and Weinberg adopt a comparative perspective, concentrating on the revival of the right across a variety of countries.
