The book is an interdisciplinary panorama of the European far-right populist instrumentalization of the authoritarian and totalitarian legacy of the 20th century in an attempt to boost political legitimacy. Consequently, the monograph equips scholars and students of political science, history, sociology, cultural and social anthropology, and the legal sciences with an analytical toolbox for the nexus of research in memory politics of the populist far-right. The broad range of empirical case study analyses examine the instrumentalization of this contested legacy in Western, Central, and Eastern Europe as promoted by AfD in Germany, FdI in Italy, Vox in Spain, Chega in Portugal, Fidesz in Hungary and PiS in Poland.

Abstract
The book is an interdisciplinary panorama of the European far-right populist instrumentalization of the authoritarian and totalitarian legacy of the 20th century in an attempt to boost political legitimacy. Consequently, the monograph equips scholars and students of political science, history, sociology, cultural and social anthropology, and the legal sciences with an analytical toolbox for the nexus of research in memory politics of the populist far-right. The broad range of empirical case study analyses examine the instrumentalization of this contested legacy in Western, Central, and Eastern Europe as promoted by AfD in Germany, FdI in Italy, Vox in Spain, Chega in Portugal, Fidesz in Hungary and PiS in Poland.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
