The Identity, Ethnicity and Political Community research cluster is pleased to invite you to the launch of Vasiliki (Billy) Tsagkroni’s new book, Radicalisation and Crisis Management: Shifts of Radical Right Discourse (Springer), on December 2nd at 16:00 in Wijnhaven. The event is open to staff and students of Leiden University, and does not require seperate registration. You might need to show your LU-card at the entrance of the Wijnhaven building.
The book focuses on the debate on radicalisation and crisis management. Similar to the already existing economic, political, post-Brexit, and migration crises in Europe, discourses of fear around the latest health crisis are paving the way for further radicalised discourse from the far right. The book looks into how radical right parties in Europe have responded to these crises. It monitors and explores how crisis exploitation impacts political strategies, opportunity-seeking behaviours, and the evolution of the discourse of radical right parties in the contemporary political landscape.
The event will feature a brief presentation by the author, followed by a panel discussion with Professor Arjen Boin (Leiden University) and Professor Daphne Halikiopoulou (University of York). This promises to be a thought-provoking session on the evolving discourse surrounding the radical right in times of crisis.
