My piece for @lseeuroppblog.bsky.social : Futuro Nazionale’s programme does more than oppose immigration. It turns citizenship into a hierarchy—secure when inherited, conditional when acquired. Survey data show why the distinction matters in Italy and Spain. blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2...
blogs.lse.ac.uk
Futuro Nazionale is redefining what it means to be Italian
Futuro Nazionale goes further than simply opposing immigration, with a platform that effectively seeks to redefine what it means to be an Italian citizen.

✍️ “The question it opens is more interesting than how to stop growth. It is what arrangements allow a society to hold its future in common rather than capitalize it,” Kristóf Szombati writes in his review of Timothy Mitchell’s book. 📖🔖 🧑‍💻 Read it now: 👉 tinyurl.com/34dha6pc

Futuro Nazionale (Italy's newest far-right party) has published its first programmatic document. Most coverage focuses on the remigration plan. The more interesting claim is elsewhere: this is not just a programme about immigration. It is a programme about membership.A thread. 🧵

Authoritarian, But Not Nativist - @aborges75.bsky.social & @lisazanottiphd.bsky.social examine how far-right parties in Latin America compare to their Western European counterpart: buff.ly/4fK7Fwk (OPEN ACCESS) #PSHighlyViewed 3/10 @polstudiesassoc.bsky.social #polsky #polsci
Abstract
Research on far-right parties has mostly focused on Western Europe, where anti-immigration agendas and related nativist ideas have played a major role in right-wing radicalization. In this article, we analyze the rise of the far right in Latin America, a region where immigration has been much less prominent in public debates. Drawing on the 2020 Chapell Hill Expert Survey, we propose to assess the extent to which Latin American far-right parties fit existing conceptualizations that identify nativism and authoritarianism as the core characteristics of this party family. Given the relative unimportance of nativism as a distinguishing feature of cases of right-wing extremism/radicalism in the region, we propose a more parsimonious conceptualization of the far right. We also develop a typological classification and find that authoritarian-fundamentalist parties that embrace an extreme form of religious conservatism are the most common subtype of far-right party in Latin America.

Call for Papers: Coloniality of the modern state - REPI - Recherche et Etudes en Politique Internationale
This call for papers seeks contributions that engage with the following central questions: Can the modern state function as an instrument of decolonization? Or, as Audre Lorde suggested, can the master’s tools ever dismantle the master’s house? What can we learn from decoloniality as plural horizons of liberation, beyonde state-seeking naitonalisms?
