Webinar The Normalisation of the Radical Right
Reflections on the social, cultural and political factors that explain the rise of the radical right and the challenge to democracy in the 21 century
Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)
The rise of the radical right has transformed the European political landscape, challenging the values of democracy, human rights, and citizenship. In Portugal, in just five years, this populist right has gone from a single MP to becoming the third-largest political force in Parliament.
What factors explain people’s political behaviour? What dynamics have facilitated the rise of the radical right to the centre of the political stage?
This webinar presents and discusses Vicente Valentim’s most recent book, O Fim da Vergonha (Gradiva), an adaptation of The Normalization of the Radical Right: A Norms Theory of Political Supply and Demand (Oxford University Press, 2024).
Holding a PhD in Political Science, Vicente Valentim analyses the growth and social normalisation of the radical right. Based on the findings of his research, this webinar offers an opportunity to reflect and act in the face of this reality.
