Terror from the Extreme Right

Abstract

In many countries the terrorism and political violence of the late 1980s and early 1990s has increasingly been attributed to the extreme right. In this first general and comparative volume to focus on right-wing terrorism, case studies explore militant groups in North America, South Africa, Japan, Italy, Germany and Scandinavia. Together they make up a book which provides new insight into the radicalization processes that produce right-wing extremist violence. Equally important is the emphasis on factors and circumstances which might serve to restrain militant groups from following their extremist ideas to their ultimate violent conclusions.
