This event aims to bring together scholars based in the UK, the EU and the US in order to produce ground-breaking research on the under-researched topic on the influence that right-wing social movements have on foreign policy. The progressive entrenchment of right-wing groups in their national political systems has raised a number of questions about their potential implications on the nature of democracy and policy-making. However, given the centrality of an extreme form of nationalism in the ideology and programmatic agendas of these groups, their impact on foreign policy- a domain which though closely connected to the ethno-centric and even expansionist ideology of far-right social movements, remains under-theorised. This workshop broadens the scope of the existing literature on the far right that focuses on their rise and causes of success, but largely ignores their outcomes and introduces a comparative analysis between Western, Central, and Eastern European countries in order to produce a solid theoretical base for the study of this phenomenon.
