“…However, researchers have noted "increasingly porous borders and growing links" between the radical and extreme right in recent times, somewhat blurring this definitional distinction. 7 Scholars including Perry and Scrivens, 8 Fangen and Nilsen, 9 and Mudde 10 have also highlighted the country-specific nature of the far right, suggesting that understanding this phenomenon also requires understanding the specific sociopolitical environment of a particular location. The following therefore aims to understand violence perpetrated by 'far-right' actors within the Australian context.…”

Is Far-Right Violence Actually Increasing in Australia? Tracking Far-Right Terrorism and Violence in Australia

In recent times, governments throughout the Western world have warned of an increase in far-right violence. A range of government and academic sources have also made spectacular claims regarding a rise in far-right violence in Australia. However, for a range of reasons, the actual prevalence of far-right violence occurring in Australia remains largely unknown. To address this gap in knowledge, the following documents acts of far-right violence and terrorism in Australia between 1990 and 2020. This study demonstrates that no clear increase has actually occurred. A total of 181 incidents are identified across almost all geographic locations, with concentrations of violence noted in Melbourne and North Queensland. A clear spike in violent incidents was identified between 2005 and 2010. However, a complete reduction in fatal violence has occurred since that time, and there has also been a notable reduction in violent events across most years since that peak. Notably, only a vanishingly small number of incidents were perpetrated by individuals associated with organised far-right groups. Rather, the vast majority of attacks are committed by lone actors or small unorganised groups, often spontaneously. To date, this more chronic form of far-right violence has been almost entirely overlooked by policymakers. Moving forward, it will be interesting to see if Australia’s existing counter-terrorism and countering violent extremism infrastructure, built primarily to address a Jihadist threat that is highly networked, geographically concentrated and transnationally linked, can be adapted to combat a far-right that is largely unorganised and geographically decentralised.

“…The network included the 'defence leagues' in Australia, Denmark, England, Finland, Norway, Poland, Scotland and Serbia, the Pro Cologne Movement (later Pro Germany Citizens' Movement), Pax Europa, the Cities against Islamisation initiative (Häusler, 2011), and Casual United (which disbanded in 2014 and became the Pie and Mash Squad; Richards, 2013;Koch, 2020) in the UK. It also included Tommy Robinson's English Defence League, the Identitarian Movement (Zúquete, 2018) in various countries across Europe, Stop the Islamisation of Norway, Pegida (Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamisation of the Occident) and the neo-Nazi organisation Vigrid, which defined Muslims and Islam in Europe as the most urgent problem (Fangen & Nilsen, 2020). These anti-Islam movements are linked to other peer groups in different countries, and to far-right parties.…”

Islamophobia as a Form of Radicalisation

This book is divided into four parts: Key concepts (part I); Contemporary political discourses on Islamophobia (part II); Media practices (part III); and Responding to Islamophobia, extremism and radicalisation (part IV). In this introductory chapter, we discuss the scope and shattered boundaries of Islamophobia as both a concept and a sociopolitical reality. We then attempt a definition of Islamophobia's theoretical and pragmatic dimensions. This conceptual chapter brings together an anthropologist and a communication scholar to consider whether and to what extent Islamophobia is a form of violent radicalisation. This will serve as a background against which we will present the fifteen chapters of this collective book, which relate interdisciplinary research, media content analyses, media discourse analysis, ethnographic research, intersectoral advocacy work and action research conducted

Os movimentos neonazistas vêm apresentando destaque exacerbado nos últimos anos em todo o mundo, sendo caracterizados como uma das mais perigosas formas de extremismo. No Rio de Janeiro, as apreensões de materiais envolvidos em apologia ao nazismo, realizadas pela Polícia Civil, vêm seguindo essa tendência de aumento. Neste estudo, propôs-se uma abordagem multidisciplinar de pesquisa histórico-documental aliada a técnicas laboratoriais físico-químicas não destrutivas (fluorescência de raios-X e microscopia óptica), buscando-se maior eficiência e confiabilidade nas análises forenses de autenticidade e avaliação pecuniária em vinte distintivos de guerra nazistas. Foram identificados apenas dois distintivos autênticos, apresentando desenhos gráficos, massas, dimensões, marcas microscópicas oriundas do processo de produção e composição química das ligas metálicas característicos das peças fabricadas durante o período nazista. Os outros dezoito distintivos caracterizavam-se como réplicas do pós-guerra. A avaliação total do acervo apresenta uma variação de preços entre R$4.350,00 e R$10.900,00. Valores muito abaixo dos preços que seriam atingidos caso todos os distintivos fossem autênticos (variação entre R$114.000,00 e 340.000,00). A metodologia proposta, de abrangência multidisciplinar, conferiu eficiência e confiabilidade às análises forenses de autenticidade e avaliação, sendo capaz de confirmar dados discutidos há anos na literatura especializada.
