Based
in the UK, the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD) is an independent think
tank that is spending quite a bit of its resources on research about the
extreme right movements in Europe. The research is also used to make policy
recommendations.
It
is worth to look at its webpage at:
The
right-wing extremism is one of the growing concerns in certain EU countries.
Racism, xenophobia, radical nationalism and anti-liberal authoritarianism are
its key features. In addition, there is also the risk of violence related to
religious fanaticism.
It
would be a serious mistake to pretend EU is immune to that kind of violent
ideas. Actually, as we get closer to the European elections we can see that ultra-right
parties are gaining ground in several countries.
It
is critical to fight them politically. But in some cases, they are just a
matter of law and order. Their leaders should be brought to the book.
