The Effects of Far-Right Challenges on International Organizations

Description du projet

Les effets des groupes d’extrême-droite sur la politique internationale

Les groupes d’extrême-droite attirent de plus en plus de partisans au sein de l’échiquier politique européen et des forums internationaux, alors que leurs membres contestent souvent les organisations internationales et leurs politiques. Par exemple, ils ont profondément changé les négociations relatives au pacte mondial sur les migrations des Nations unies (ONU). En revanche, les partis de droite radicale au Parlement européen ont échoué à susciter de profonds changements politiques. Le projet FARRIO, financé par l’UE, étudiera la raison pour laquelle la contestation transnationale d’extrême-droite a différents effets sur les organisations internationales. Il comparera notamment les effets de la contestation d’extrême-droite au sein de l’UE, de l’ONU et de ses institutions spécialisées/traités dans quatre domaines politiques essentiels (migration, droits des femmes, changement climatique et santé publique).

Objectif

The rise of the far right poses a profound challenge to global politics. Diverse far-right actors, such as political parties, civil society groups, and social movements, have been gaining support in domestic contexts, while intensifying their transnational contacts. As these groups focus on national sovereignty and share a stance against globalization, they often contest international organizations (IOs) and their policies. Yet their impact on international organizations differs: On the one hand, far-right groups have profoundly changed negotiations on the Global Compact for Migration in the UN. On the other hand, radical-right parties in the European Parliament have hardly brought about any deeper policy changes. Why does transnational far-right contestation have varying effects on international organizations?
While scholars have analyzed far-right actors in domestic politics, knowledge about their transnational activities and effects is limited. FARRIO fills this gap empirically, theoretically, and methodologically. Empirically, it compares effects of far-right contestation on the EU, the UN, and its specialized agencies/treaties in four central policy fields (migration, women's rights, climate change, and public health). Theoretically, it proposes that IO changes depend on the directness of far-right strategies and the liberal character of international organizations. It thereby breaks new ground in identifying scope conditions for far-right impact highly relevant for research on transnational protest as well as IO resilience and change. Methodologically, FARRIO draws on and further develops quantitative and qualitative methods. It adapts protest event and networks analysis to map transnational far-right contestation, also including social media data. Bridging Comparative Politics, Social Movement Studies, and the study of International Relations, FARRIO assesses the challenge far-right actors pose to IOs as well as what measures are suited to respond to it.
