| Detailed description of content |
In recent decades, various radical right and populist movements have emerged in Europe, making their impact felt in a popular backlash against European integration (eg. Brexit); globalisation and immigration; a politicization of political and cultural identities (eg new rules on wearing of clothing with religious significance in public spaces); and the success of political parties such as the French National Front, Golden Dawn in Greece, United Kingdom Independence Party in Britain, the Danish People’s Party and the Law and Justice Party in Poland. This course examines the changing nature and fortunes of populist and radical right movements in Europe in the context of globalization and particularly since the financial crisis. It pays particular attention to the role of globalization in theoretical accounts of the evolution of populist and radical right movements; the role of anti-globalisation, Eurosceptical and anti-immigration discourses in nationalist ideology; changing opportunity structures for movements and parties both at home and abroad; collaboration and transnational learning between movements and parties in different parts of Europe (and beyond); the responses of national and international bodies and courts in the regulation of permissible scope of the speech and activities of populist and radical right movements. |
| Teaching and working methods |
The course consists of 12 lectures, involving teacher-led discussions of core texts and related issues, group work, analysis of texts, pictures and videos and student-led debates. |
| Expected work effort (ECTS-declaration) |
Classroom-based teaching (24 hours), preparation for lectures (184 hours), evaluation and feedback (2 hour), preparation and attendance at examination (60 hours) = 270 hours |
| Course material and Reading list |
The course literature will be in English, drawing on relevant book chapters and journal articles rather than a specific textbook. |
| Form of examination |
Individual oral examination on the basis of the syllabus. The oral examination has a total duration of 60 minutes, divided between 30 minutes of preparation time (including time to draw a question) and approximately 30 minutes for the oral examination, including assessment. The course teacher sets 8-15 examination questions which in sum cover the syllabus. The student draws two random questions at the start of the examination. These two questions form the starting-point for the examination, in which the student, after preparation time, presents and discusses the questions on the basis of the syllabus. In the examination, questions may be asked relating to any part of the entire course syllabus. All examination aids are permitted in the preparation room. In the examination room, only notes written during the preparation time are permitted. The course teacher may however permit particular examination aids to be present in the examination room, such as prepared hand-outs or the like. |
