We are so excited to launch the call for papers for our second @ecpr-ead.bsky.social conference in Rotterdam next year. Please consider submitting a proposal!
Big thanks for Ofra Klein and her team at @essb-erasmusuni010.bsky.social for making this possible 👏

📖 This is such a thoughtful, thought-provoking and deeply challenging paper by Anna Jochymek, on the methodological risks and advantages of women’s positionality in researching the far right. Plus: nine scholarly commentaries that engage with this piece. 👏

The final paper of my PhD is now out in @democratization.bsky.social! I ask how and why regime type impacts far-right mobilization. My starting point was a paradox: the far right is global, yet most of what we know about it comes from research on a handful of countries in Western Europe 1/9

Enorm belangrijke bijdrage van @sterknikki.bsky.social en collega’s over de normalisering van uiterst rechts rechts gedachtegoed op tv: "Neonazi’s verweren zich bij de rechter met ‘op televisie zeggen ze het ook’": www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2026/...

New book out 🔥

The Fascist Zeitgeist.
Authoritarian Legacies and the Iberian Far Right.

(Elements in the History and Politics of Fascism
@universitypress.cambridge.org)

How is the success of the Iberian far right linked to the memory of Franco and Salazar?

doi.org/10.1017/9781009588072

The image shows, on the right half, the book's cover, with fascist architecture from Rome, which is the signature image used by the series on "The History and Politics of Fascism". The left half of the image shows the book's back, that includes the following summary: 
The far right is achieving unprecedented electoral success, even in countries once considered immune such as Spain and Portugal. For decades, the stigma surrounding the long dictatorships of António Salazar and Francisco Franco seemed to inoculate the Iberian Peninsula against far-right mobilisation, yet Chega and VOX have shown that collective memory evolves – and stigma fades. This Element argues that understanding the far right's global rise requires attention to authoritarian nostalgia: a longing for an idealised authoritarian past. When activated by credible political actors with sufficient media visibility, this sentiment can generate support for far-right movements even in societies with a collective memory firmly condemning their authoritarian past. Using original survey data, the Element shows how contemporary far-right forces mobilise the ghosts of authoritarianism to erode democratic norms, revealing the enduring power of collective memory in shaping political behaviour.

📣 Nieuwe column voor @groene.nl - nog maar eens over de normalisering van uiterst rechts gedachtegoed. Directe aanleiding was het rapport van AIVD en NCTV over de strategische normalisering vanuit de rechts-extremistische beweging. 👇

In unserem Strategiepapier „The day After“ ist vom Verstummen der Bundeszentrale für politischen Bildung die Rede - gestern gab es eine interessante Bundestagsdebatte zur Zukunft der BpB, die einen Eindruck in Anlässe für vorauseilendem Gehorsam vermittelt

“Ik fotografeerde honderden Albanezen in Adidas. En iedere foto vergrootte het verlangen de Albanese Adidas-liefde te doorgronden. Een van de vragen die ik had was: wanneer was dit ontstaan?” Dank voor het delen! Erg van genoten 🤩

@leoniedejonge.bsky.socialSep 20, 2026, 7:33 PM

Aus gegebenem Anlass. Dieses Papier von Kolleg:innen bündelt Strategien für die demokratische Zivilgesellschaft angesichts einer rechtsextremen Landesregierung.
Nicht normalisieren, nicht vereinzeln lassen, nicht abhängig bleiben, nicht nur reagieren, sich jetzt vorbereiten.

Wilders is hondsdol, Stoffer is in de Heer, De Vos is fascistoïde. Dan lijkt Eerdmans een keurig alternatief
