More about the book
Focusing on the evolution of capitalism in Western Europe, particularly Germany since the 1990s, the book examines the implications for open society and liberal democracy. It delves into authoritarian tendencies and their escalation through right-wing alliances, framed by a longitudinal study on 'group-focused enmity.' Heitmeyer employs a 'concentric escalation continuum' to analyze the dynamics of right-wing movements and the potential dangers they pose to democratic values, especially during crises, offering critical insights into extremism and political alienation.
