Learning outcomes

The aim of the course is to introduce the current debate on political extremism. First, we will introduce the basic theoretical approaches (Extremismstheory, Social identity theory, activism theory) and concepts (Hate crime). Next, the course will focus on the concept of militant democracy and its relation to extremism theory. Attention will also be paid to the critique of extremism theory and to the concept of Hate crime, which complements or replaces extremism theory.
Students will become familiar with the basic theoretical concepts of the populist radical right. Students will be able to describe the specifics of the populist radical right in Central Europe. Students will become familiar with the main populist radical rights parties in Central Europe.
