Varieties of Right-Wing Extremism in Europe
edited by Andrea Mammone, Kingston University, UK,
Emmanuel Godin, University of Portsmouth, UK and
Brian Jenkins, University of Leeds, UK
Beginning with an analysis of the complex relationship
between fascism and the contemporary extreme right, the
book discusses both populist radical right parties and the
cultural and intellectual influences of the European New
Right. It then analyses the effects of a range of factors on
the ideological development of right-wing extremism
including anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, religious extremism
and hostility to the European Union. Drawing together a
wide range of contributors, this is essential reading for all
those with an interest in contemporary extremism and fascism.

Predisposed
The Biology behind Polarized Politics
John Hibbing, Kevin Smith, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA
and John Alford
Predisposed presents evidence that people differ politically not just because they
grew up in different cultures or were presented with different information. These
factors certainly play their role but people also differ politically because they have
diverse psychological, physiological and genetic traits. This biologically-based,
physio-cognitive machinery influences much of what makes people who they are,
including their personalities, preferences for occupation and leisure pursuits, tastes
in art and music, strategies for child rearing and, yes, orientations to politics. These
predispositions are in turn responsible for a significant portion of the political conflict
that marks human history.
