TY - JOUR ID - 748117 AU - Kopeček, Lubomír PY - 2007 TI - The far right in Europe. A summary of attempts to define the concept, analyze its identity, and compare the Western European and Central European far right JF - Středoevropské politické studie VL - 9 IS - 4 SP - 280 - 293 EP - 280 - 293 SN - 12127817 KW - far right KW - law and order KW - nationalism KW - silent counter-revolution KW - welfare chauvinism KW - West and Central Europe KW - xenophobia UR - http://www.cepsr.com/ N2 - This paper focuses on the far right with emphasis on summing up some of its more widespread definitions, evaluating the reasons for classifying it as a distinctive family of parties, and comparing of the Western European and (post-Communist) Central European far right. The text presents the theories of Piero Ignazi, Hans-Georg Betz, Cas Mudde, and other authors. The best working definition of the contemporary far right may be the four-element combination of nationalism, xenophobia, law and order, and welfare chauvinism proposed for the Western European environment by Cas Mudde. This concept allows for a basic ideological classification within a unified party family, despite the heterogeneity of the far right parties. Comparison of Central European far right parties with those of Western Europe shows that these four elements are present in Central Europe as well, though in a somewhat modified form, despite differing political, economic, and social influences.
