Info

the problems of right-wing extremism are mainly small towns and villages. In cities, these groups are probably submerged in the youth culture mix. In each of the municipalities we surveyed responsible actors in the schools, police force, social services, and local government and politics. The fi ndings crystallized into the follow- ing pattern pattern of response, which can be described in the form of a three-phase model using the overarching terms politicization, institutionalization, and professionalization (see Figure 3): 1) Politization: Recurrent right-wing extremist incidents in the municipalities create political pressure to take action, action, to which the authorities respond, either because of their own sense of alarm or because of an image problem resulting from strong media coverage. Discussion is initiated between municipal representatives and affected or alarmed com munity actors to analyze the problem and to discuss the necessity of working together. 2) Institutionalization: municipal representatives and the actors network into a politically heterogeneous working group pursuing a broad concept of civil society.There are varying degrees of cooperation between the police, the school, and/or social services. For strate- gic planning, the municipalities use both their own and some external resources, whereby the use of the latter is usually selective, consisting mostly of consultation and information exchanges. Measures formulated and coordinated on the basis of this work, including intervention and repression as well as preventative measure, are usually implemented across all areas. 3) Professionalization: working groups monitor the effects of their measures and can quickly call on internal and external resources when deciding on further steps. As a rule, the measures taken lead to the stagnation of the right-wing extremist phenomenon (see the model in the fi gure). The working groups generally remain in operation beyond the acute phase and are available for intervention when other problems involving violence arise. As a result of having studied and dealt with the topic of right-wing extremism, these groups continue to observe and monitor, and are able to take action when new problems problems with right-wing extremism arise (see “effects” in the model). 40 The Special Case of Switzerland
