Morbid Symptoms: The Global Rise of the Far-Right

Autor Owen Worth
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 oct 2019
As established centrist parties across the Western world continue to decline, commentators continue to fail to account for the far-right's growth, for its strategies and its overall objectives.

Morbid Symptoms examines the far-right's ascendancy, uniquely tracing its history from the end of the Cold War, revealing how its different dimensions have led to a series of contradictory strategies and positions that often leave their overall significance unclear. From the United States to Russia and from Britain across Europe to Greece, Owen Worth's analysis reveals that the left's failure to mount a radical alternative to the prevailing order has allowed the far-right to move in and provide an avenue for discontent and for change. Crucially though this avenue hasn't necessarily offered a definite alternative to the status quo as yet, meaning there is still a chance to change its significance in the wider global order.

This is an essential primer to the future of international politics and international relations.

Recenzii

Thoughtful and very timely. It captures much of what is contradictory in the relationship between the politics of the far-right and neoliberal world order and addresses some of the key questions, not only in terms of how we explain the rise of the far-right, but how the left/progressive forces should respond to it.
Morbid Symptoms provides a novel, interesting, and timely analysis of the contemporary far right. It is an impressive work of scholarship.
Owen Worth provides a much-needed historical and economic perspective to the study of present-day extremism. By lucidly tracing the differences and, importantly, the similarities to the development of and themes pushed by the far-right across the Western world, this book provides a useful guide to the emerging transnational nationalism. Without succumbing to the more dramatic and hysterical predictions for the future, Morbid Symptoms identifies the political danger of recent developments and, most intriguingly, hints at possible solutions.
