Abstract:

Although students of democratic politics believe that right-wing extremism pose a threat to democratic norms and institutions, existing research tells us very little about the consequences of the newly emerged extreme right-wing parties (ERPs) across established democracies. Drawing on party literature and spatial theories of party competition, as well as the empirical data collected as part of the Manifestos Research Group (MRG) project, our study examines how the ERPs have influenced the political agenda of established democracies. Specifically, we argue that the rising electoral strength of the ERPs alone is not a sufficient indicator of right-authoritarianism influence on country’s political discourse. Instead, adjustment strategies by the established parties, such as preemption and accommodation, should be taken account in order to provide a more comprehensive picture of how rising right-wing extremism has structured the political agenda of contemporary democracies.
