The far right has moved from oppositional force to control over the last decades. This outcome is the result of a long-term process of renewal ultimately aimed at dismantling the liberal order. As the far right moves from counter-hegemonic to hegemonic force in certain contexts, it is important to acknowledge that it does not constitute a “counter-public;” counter-publics are indeed those voices that the far right seeks to silence, i.e. various minorities and opponents. Research on far-right politics is thus charged with addressing terminological and methodological challenges capable of exposing the elusive nature of this phenomenon and illiberal or anti-democratic “red flags.”
