Overview

The Free State of Saxony is often regarded as a stronghold of right-wing extremism and right-wing populism with outstanding results from right-wing parties, pronounced xenophobic violence and lively right-wing street protests. The authors of the volume examine the thesis of the ""stronghold of Saxony"" at all levels (attitudes, voting behavior, protest cultures, militant scenes, discourses and ideologies) by making interregional comparisons with eastern and western countries. In doing so, they investigate possible causes for any Saxon peculiarities. In this way, the volume creates a multifaceted picture of right-wing extremism and right-wing populism in Saxony.
