“…Previous research, moreover, confirms how framing has become an important part of mobilizing protest to create inclusive intersectionality around migration, race/ethnicity and gender (Sauer & Ajanovic, 2016;Siim & Mokre, 2013), which sensitizes for discrimination and exclusion. Frames are sets of "common-sense concepts and notions" (Detant, 2005, p.189), which interpret everyday situations (Rein & Schön, 1994).…”

“…Right-wing mobilization across Europe aims at creating a common-sense perspective of difference and inequality (of class, nationality, religion, gender, sexuality), of non-belonging and thus exclusion. Gender often works as a catalyst for discourses and politics of exclusion, of "exclusive intersectionality" (Keskinen, 2017;Meret & Siim, 2013;Sauer & Ajanovic, 2016). While existing analyses focus on the rise of exclusive forms of right-wing populism across Europe, research on counter-forces against the political right is still scarce (for an exception Siim, Krasteva, & Saarinen, 2018).…”

The article aims to integrate key concepts from social movement, citizenship and gender theories with afocus on (political) intersectionality at the interface of migration, race, gender and sexuality. It explores the responses from civil society groups to the exclusive intersections of right-wing politics and discourses in Austria and Denmark with afocus on inclusive intersectionality and transversal politics. The article asks if and how the intersectional repertoires of NGOs were able to create transversal politics and joint activities and explains why these NGOs were unable to counter right-wing hegemony. It uses the cases of Austria and Denmark to illustrate the diverse mobilizations of counter-forces against the attempts to forge an anti-migration and anti-Muslim consensus. The focus is on the mobilization of anti-racist and pro-migrant groups, comparing their strategies and inclusionary repertoires including feminist claims, the framing of activist citizenship, acts of citizenship and of solidarity. The article scrutinizes strategies of transversal politics against the exclusionary right in the two countries; shows the influence of the different contexts of civil society mobilization, political cultures, welfare and gender regimes as well as the differences between right-wing forces in the two countries.

“…With Austria we include the clearest case of right-wing populist backlash in Western Europe (Sauer and Ajanovic, 2016). The early rise of the right-wing freedom party (FPÖ) under Jörg Haider in the 1990s can be attributed to Haider’s “modernization” of the party allowing the FPÖ to play down its Nazi roots and pursue an “Austrian patriotism” (Pelinka, 2020: 96).…”

This paper aims to contribute to the ongoing discussions on authoritarian populism and the media, from the lens of the political economy of ownership. In contrast to studies that consider the link between media and authoritarian populism by focusing on the discursive structures of populist communication, this study analyses changes in the structure of news media ownership in four European countries that have been subject to authoritarian populism. By employing social network analysis, a methodology rarely used in media ownership research, we reveal how news media ownership concentration as well as changes in ownership structures have provided favorable conditions for the rise and endurance of authoritarian populism. Our study covers ownership developments during the period 2000 to 2020, in Austria, Hungary, Slovenia, and Turkey where authoritarian populist tendencies have been evident, albeit to varying degrees. Conclusions are drawn to illustrate how authoritarian populist actors in the sample countries not only capitalize on prevailing news media ownership structures, but also proactively intervene in ownership relations in order to increase influence over the diffusion of information.
