Ideologi og identitet

Det ytre høyre i Europa omfatter et bredt spekter av bevegelser, partier, grupper og individer. Til tross for en del forskjeller kan vi også se likheter når det gjelder ideologier, verdensbilder og identiteter. Innvandring er blitt et betydelig politisk tema i de fleste europeiske land, også i Norge.

Det ytre høyres ideologi definerer innvandring som en trussel mot stedegne identiteter, og grupper på det ytre høyre bidrar til nye måter å definere nasjonale identiteter på. Religion og rase defineres og diskuteres på nye måter. Nye former for kommunikasjon og mediering gjør at ideologier og identiteter tar mer globaliserte uttrykk. Samtidig er det klart at nasjonale kontekster og lokale forhold fortsatt er viktige for ideologiene og identitetene på det ytre høyre.

Forskere ved C-REX studerer disse fenomenene i en rekke land og fra forskjellige perspektiver, og de bruker både kvalitative og kvantitative metoder.
