Transnationalisation and Haiderisation: Relocation of the Far-right

Saša Božić ; Interdisciplinary Centre for Comparative Research in the Social Sciences, Vienna, Austria

Abstract

The article discusses the relation between transnationalisation and the
proliferation of the far-right. The author presents new criteria for the redefinition
of the concept of transnationalisation. These criteria enable us to explain
the strengthening of far-right parties which profit from supranational integration
processes and from the consequences of the relativisation of national
boundaries. The example of Jörg Haider and his FPÖ shows that the relation
between the far-right and transnationalisation can be much more complex
than usually assumed. The author develops a new concept - “Haiderisation ”
to explain the technology applied by successful far-right parties. Their success
is predominantly determined by their new treatment of transnationalisation
and its social consequences.
