Lights and shadows of the far-right: An analysis of its current apogee

Abstract

The revival of far-right movements in western democracies is a phenomenon that has gathered the attention of multiple sectors of society. This group's recurrent resurgence and apparent magnetism have indeed aroused great fascination among academia, leading many scholars to investigate the sources and impact of the far-right. Therefore, this thesis seeks to explore the reasons behind the overwhelming success of this movement, from its historical roots to its current presence and modus operandi. This paper will thus demonstrate that this group's intrinsic resilience and adaptability is the leading factor that has contributed to its prosperity since its inception.
