MAGA is pursuing regime change in Europe. Europe needs to start pouring millions into anti-MAGA think tanks, media entities, and other actors. Campaign financing in the U.S. is now almost entirely unregulated. That is a vulnerability that Europe can and should exploit. The gloves are off.

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.
