Cas Mudde is the Stanley Wade Shelton UGAF Professor of International Affairs at the University of Georgia and Professor II at the Center for Research on Extremism (C-REX) at the University of Oslo.
"Powerful, timely, important. A much needed analysis."
Elif Shafak “The far-right is mutating and Cas Mudde offers the
best guide to understanding its growth and impact.”
Ryan Heath, POLITICO “Cas Mudde is one of the most
clear-eyed, trenchant analysts of politics in the West. His latest
work is packed with insight and offers a vital guide into the array
of nativist and extremist factions shaping the global
zeitgeist.”
Ishaan Tharoor, The Washington Post "The Far Right
Today is a must-read for everyone who is not numb to the
authoritarian forces challenging our values and dismantling liberal
democracies. Cas Mudde provides unique insights to the underlying
reasons for the rise and normalisation of the far right and
brilliantly places the phenomena in historical context."
Tanja Fajon, MEP and Vice-President of the S & D Group
“While many Americans are driven mad by the nightly news, Cas Mudde
provides an anti-dote – the global and historical context for the
rise of the right in his insightful and accessible book. The
radical right has become mainstreamed, Mudde argues, posing a
historic challenge with no easy solutions. This book is
essential to anyone organizing working people or engaged in
politics.”
Karen Nussbaum, Working America, AFL-CIO
“A powerful wake-up call.”

and the different types of organisations to be found in their
camp."

'The Far Right Today is a clear book, full of definitions and facts
about the radical right from Brazil to India… a valuable reference
work.'
NRC Handelsblad ‘The Far Right Today is an (semi-) academic
equivalent of a page-turner…A must read’
