✦ Synopsis

Despite its association with the national, the modern Right is a transnational phenomenon. Whether in its fascist, conservative, or other forms, it organizes across national barriers, connecting movements in different countries. Yet this phenomenon has too often been neglected by scholars, an oversight that this volume seeks to correct. Drawing on a variety of cases in diverse regions of the world throughout the last hundred years—from anticommunism to white power movements to Turkish ultra-nationalists—this book offers powerful new insights into transnationalism, the Right, and the ways in which the two interact.
