@eljorobado.bsky.social and I have a new book w/ @universitypress.cambridge.org on affective and instrumental attitudes toward fascism in Italy and France. A useful tool ahead of the 2027 national elections in both countries featuring highly relevant far right contestants. @ceudeminst.bsky.social

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.

Absolutely dramatic defeat for CDU and victory for AfD. Main question is: will BSW make it into parliament. Currently AfD is estimated at 39 seats, BSW at 5 (out of 83). AfD majority is unlikely, but still possible.

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.

Quoted by @afp.com and @barrons.com on Latin America’s resurgent right after Colombia’s election. The key point: these victories are less a uniform ideological shift than the rise of personalistic leaders able to build contingent anti-incumbent coalitions. www.barrons.com/news/latin-a...

Democratic erosion does not always arrive through rupture. In Chile, early decisions by Kast’s government suggest a subtler process: the gradual narrowing of democracy from within.
