Episode #19: Normalizing the Far Right [3/3] - Update

In the last few years, the rise of right-wing populist and
right-wing extremist parties, politicians, movements, and groups
has become a common phenomenon, contributing to the spread of
far-right discourse and attitudes. And it’s getting worse, as we
currently see in Germany, Austria, the U.S. etc.


A research group at ZiF has worked on this topic for two years
under the title “Normalizing the Far Right”. In this episode,
Paula Diehl and Birgit Sauer, the convenors of the research
group, talk about the different developments, the danger of
normalization of right-wing positions, and about the effects on
democracy.
