Memory, post-fascism and the far-right - Volume 55 Issue 2

Political actors often resort to history to make sense of the present. Yet little is known about how the interpretation of the past frames contemporary political decisions. My project studied how actors in the European Parliament used contested memories of war and conflict during the Ukraine crisis.
