Reviews / Votes
"This is the ultimate Minkenberg, condensing two decades of cutting-edge research into one highly readable short book. Must read for all, academic and non-academic, interested in the radical right in Central and Eastern Europe." (Cas Mudde, Associate Professor, International Affairs, University of Georgia, USA)"In this remarkable short book, Michael Minkenberg presents an important new analysis of the radical right in Eastern Europe. He demonstrates the fragility of democracy in Eastern Europe, as well as the durability of nationalist issues that link the past to the present. Moreover, this analysis helps us to understand more about the powerful hostility that greeted the recent wave of refugees in Eastern Europe during the past two years, in a region where few immigrants had settled before." (Martin Schain, Professor Emeritus, Politics, New York University, USA)
