With the AfD, a \u201esecurely far-right\u201c party could soon become the strongest force in state parliaments in Germany. And the situation is not much different in other European countries.<br \/>\nThe NSU series of murders (2000-2006), the terrorist attack by Anders Breivik (2011), the attack in Munich (2016), the Christchurch massacre (2019), the murder of Walter L\u00fcbcke (2019), the attacks in Halle (2019) and Hanau (2020), and most recently a foiled coup plan by German Reichsb\u00fcrger (2022): We have been dealing with right-wing extremist violence for a long time - and it has been particularly severe in recent years. In the wake of social protests, extreme groups could come together to form a comprehensive movement.<\/p>\n<p>Peter R. Neumann, one of the world's most distinguished experts, shows how real this danger is - and where its deeper, ideological roots lie. Instead of just describing individual groups, he reveals the essence, the logic of right-wing extremism - the very thing that unites all these groups, whether Old or New Right, neo-reactionaries or identitarians, Reichsb\u00fcrger or conspiracy theorists, AfD or Rassemblement National. Using numerous examples, from the v\u00f6lkisch movement in the 19th century to the populism of the present day, Neumann shows that it does not start with hatred, but with a logic of fear. A psychogram of right-wing extremism - which is also an urgent warning.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Peter Neumann<\/strong>, political scientist, journalist and publicist<\/p>\n<p><strong>Robert Misik<\/strong>, Author and journalist<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>Peter R. Neumann<\/strong>, born in W\u00fcrzburg in 1974, is Professor of Security Studies at King's College London, where he headed the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation (ICSR) for many years. As an internationally sought-after expert, Neumann was an advisor to the USA at the United Nations in 2014 and a special representative of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) in 2017. He also writes for \u00abDer Spiegel\u00bb and the \u00abNew York Times\u00bb, among others.
