For the last two decades, the number of political organizations on the far right, neo-populist right and neo-conservative right have been growing in number. Along with the mounting electoral success for many of the parties, there has also been a growing disenchantment with the political class which has led to a revolt against the current political 'establishment.' The events of September 11th and the "War on Terror" have further aggravated tensions within the populations between those who feel they are the "legitimate" citizens of the state and those who are considered "outsiders." The recent expansion of the EU's borders has also brought on fears of a surge of both legal and illegal immigration. All these factors have led to a growing number of cases of harassment and outbursts of violence aimed at asylum seekers and ethnic minorities in Europe. This book measures the effects of neo-populist groups on the current political establishment and illustrates how much political appeal neo-populist views have on making current political policy.
