The Dark Side of European Integration Social Foundations and Cultural Determinants of the Rise of Radical Right Movements in Contemporary Europe

"Polyakova´s sophisticated exploration of why and how ultra-nationalists succeed challenges widely held assumptions about the determinants of right-wing electoral support and individual radicalization. Her study is unusual in comparing the European far right beyond the borders of the EU and in including field research results from Western Ukrainian provinces. This succinct investigation should find wide attention among researchers of political extremism and will help us better understand the reasons for the current surge of xenophobia across Europe."?Dr. Andreas Umland, Kyiv-Mohyla Academy
