A History of Far-Right Europeanism in the Post-War Period

Project description

Far-right networks and the making of post-war Europe

After World War II, Europe witnessed the rise of neo-fascist networks. Groups like the European Social Movement and the National Party of Europe pushed a far-right vision for Europe, with racist, anti-democratic rhetoric. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the FREITPWP project explores the rise and fall of these transnational networks between the late 1940s and the 1970s. The findings will offer a fresh perspective on far-right collaboration. By tracing links from the inter-war period to today, FREITPWP reveals how Europe became a central hub for far-right internationalism. Through extensive archival research, the project sheds light on this complex and troubling legacy.

Objective

"FREITPWP examines the genesis, evolution, and demise of several neo-fascist networks and organizations that operated across European borders during the post-war period (late 1940s to 1970s). These include the European Social Movement (ESB), the European New Order (NEO), and the National Party of Europe (NPE). The study puts forth a novel theoretical framework for analyzing these networks: far-right Europeanism, which is defined as a commitment to the political, economic, and cultural consolidation of the European continent among far-right agents, organizations, and parties, who based their inter-European collaboration on exclusionary, illiberal, anti-democratic, and racist ideas of Europe. The explicit emphasis on the notion of Europe as an ideological rationale for far-right internationalism represents a significant departure from the existing scholarship on right-wing politics in Europe. The study's long-term perspective, which links the inter-war and post-war periods to the present day, provides groundbreaking insights into the continuity and discontinuity of Europe's role in the international cooperation of the far right throughout the ""long"" 20th century. The project draws upon archival research conducted in a range of European countries, incorporates interdisciplinary methodological innovations, and collaborates with multiple experts in the field."
