Episode 7: Vicente Valentim on the Normalization of the Radical Right

In the seventh episode of “Political Science? No Problem et al.”
we talk to Vicente Valentim about the role of norms in the
normalization of the far-right. How do social norms influence the
expression of radical-right political preferences? How do skilled
far-right candidates strategically erode social norms through
entrepreneurship? How does a norm-based theory of far-right
support interact with economic and cultural explanations?
Moreover, we talked about what Vicentes research implies for
strategies on countering far-right parties.
