The Far Right Today
by Cas Mudde
"My book is written, in part, so that we can oppose the far right and strengthen liberal democracy." —Cas Mudde
If you haven't set aside any time to understand the far right yet, now is the time to do so. Not only is it leading to horrific murders, but three of the world's largest democracies have a radical right leader. The Far Right Today is the latest book by political scientist Cas Mudde, one of the world's leading experts on the far right.
You can also read his interviews with us, one on populism and one on the far right.
