Abstract

This chapter starts with research on current socio-economic and cultural factors like globalization, immigration, the labor market, education, or socio-cultural modernization that can influence the demand for radical right ideologies. This is followed by supply side factors of the political system and the political culture. In addition, the role of media and politicians who offer interpretations of world affairs, economic, social, and cultural change are as much a topic as influences of history and the interaction between demand for and supply of radical right ideologies.
