Since 2010, far-right parties have taken control of Hungary and Poland, gained seats in Germany’s parliament, and become strong minority parties in France, Austria, Netherlands, and Sweden. Most are rooted in nationalism and resistance to immigrants and “foreign” cultures. This course will examine the causes, effects, and potential future direction of shifts to the right in Europe, and how they may relate to the U.S. and global stability.

  • Lectures and discussions will be stimulated by a reading packet.
