Rechtsradikalismus in Niedersachsen : Akteure, Entwicklungen und lokaler Umgang

Abstract

The perception of right-wing radicalism in society has changed in recent years and is mainly discussed nationwide. But how do local actors react to right-wing extremist events, groups or phenomena? What kind of interaction do they find with them? And do these negotiation modes influence recent radical right-wing formations? On selected case studies from Lower Saxony, the authors examine interactions of right-wing radical phenomena with the local cultural majority society, especially with local actors and institutions. In doing so, they also trace the historical developments in order to approach the depth dimensions of the conditions of formation and constitution of political right-wing radicalism in local contexts.
