The Transnationalization of the Far Right between Movements and Parties

The Far Right is generally considered to be a significant phenomenon of the first two decades of the twenty first century, and it perhaps also represents the defining academic publishing phenomenon in political science and sociology over the same period. But what do we know about the transnationalization of the Far Right? While processes of transnationalization are well known and have long been studied in relation to left-wing, progressive actors, there is still a need for research to be carried out on how the Far Right responds to the challenges of transnationalization. This is true for both political parties and movements in an era such as the fourth wave of the Far Right, which has seen the emergence of increasingly hybrid actors on this side of the political spectrum. This chapter addresses these issues by using a number of concepts from the scholarship on social movement contention to look at the trasnationalization of different types of actors on the Right (including both political parties and non-party organizations).
