Thursday, October 28, 12noon-1pm, this on-line event requires advance registration

This webinar examines comparatively the growth and political effectiveness of right-wing populism in Western Europe, Central Europe, and the USA since 9/11. Right-wing populists in both the USA and Europe pursue this strategy because they see it as chiming well with public opinion at a time of great uncertainty, instability, and insecurity.
