Este libro reúne treinta capítulos con sendas ideologías políticas diferentes. En el presente siglo XXI, las ideologías se afianzan y diversifican. El pasado siglo XX no comportó el fin de las ideologías. Basta con observar el populismo. Las ideas políticas actúan e interactúan. En la actualidad se afrontan nuevos retos, como subyace en el feminismo, el ecologismo, el pacifismo y el antiglobalismo. Analizar las ideas es clave para evitar caer en una burda explicación superficial de dichas ideologías que, por ejemplo, confunda el liberalismo progresista con el liberalismo conservador. O que yerre mezclando éste último con el neoconservadurismo, éste con la nueva derecha cristiana y ésta con la democracia cristiana. Ideológicamente, son distintas entre sí. Por ello, aprender a reconocer las semejanzas y las diferencias entre las treinta ideologías forma parte de la capacitación politológica con excelencia. Cabe preguntarse si sabemos las divergencias entre el nacionalismo y el federalismo. Si estamos al tanto de la distinción entre el antisemitismo y el racismo. Si estamos al corriente del contraste entre el islamismo y el islamismo yihadista. Si conocemos las disimilitudes entre el fascismo y la nueva extrema derecha. Hay que percatarse de dicha diversidad. Por todo ello, un grueso del profesorado de Ciencia Política, que en las universidades españolas investiga y enseña Teoría Política, ha escrito éste libro, Ideologías y movimientos políticos contemporáneos, que -en sus dos décadas de edición, ahora repensada, renovada, ampliada y actualizada con nuevos autores y nuevos capítulos- dispone un alto interés educativo e intelectual de calidad.

Beginning with an analysis of the complex relationship between fascism and the post-war extreme right, the book discusses both contemporary parties and the cultural and intellectual influences of the European New Right as well as patterns of socialization and mobilization. It then analyses the effects of a range of factors on the ideological development of right-wing extremism including anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, religious extremism and the approach towards Europe (and the European Union).The final sections investigate a number of activist manifestations of the extreme right from youth participation and the white power music scene to transnational rallies, the Internet and football hooliganism. In the process, the book questions the notion that the contemporary extreme right is either completely novel or fully populist in character. Drawing together a wide range of contributors, this is essential reading for all those with an interest in contemporary extremism and fascism. The book is a companion volume to Mapping the Extreme Right (Routledge, 2012) which has the same editors.

The current context of developed societies is characterised by a number of phenomena, the most significant of which are processes of economic globalisation, information technologies, increasing multiculturalism and the emergence of cases of national pluralism which require full political accommodation both within democracies and in the international sphere. The book examines the current state of affairs concerning the political recognition and constitutional accommodation of national pluralism in liberal democracies in the global era of the 21st century. The aim of this volume is to reveal the normative, analytical and institutional shortcomings of liberal democracies in multinational contexts and to offer alternatives that theoretically refine and practically improve the recognition and political accommodation of national pluralism within the democratic polity. Through a series of analyses linked to the development of political liberalism in contemporary states the contributors analyse the direct impact on the way that democracies have treated, and continue to treat, national pluralism in modern-day societies. Bringing together leading scholars in the field to explore the different debates and approaches to this important issue, this volume will interest researchers and students of nationalism, federalism and multiculturalism, as well as political actors and policy makers with a particular interest in the management of diversity in present-day liberal democracies.

This open access volume analyses the development of democracy at different levels of governance (from local to global). The Basque search for an institutional and democratic model that adapts to its social needs and solves its problems offers an interesting perspective for analyzing the way in which democracy is seeking new forms of materialization from the local to the global. The volume is divided into four parts. The chapters in Part I analyze the tensions between the neoliberal vision of democracy and the voices contesting it, with projections at different levels of government. The chapters in Part II focus on the emerging framework and scales of Western democracy. The chapters in Part III present new forms of citizen participation, paying special - though not exclusive - attention to new practical strategies for Basque society. The volume concludes with a block of chapters on the relevance of reviewing the methodological and epistemological frameworks from which knowledge about democracy and mechanisms of citizen participation is generated (Part IV). By delving deeper into the idea and practice of democratic governance, this volume will be of interest to researchers and students from all disciplines of politics, international relations, sociology and law.

Electoral and parliamentary arenas play a crucial role in the configuration and dynamics of modern polities. This book explores the practices of citizenship and unveils the fabric of representation in the Iberian countries, during a significant period of liberal politics, that is, from its apogee to its collapse (from the 1870s to the 1920s). Part One examines the evolution of electoral norms and behaviour, as well as the recruitment profile of MPs. Portugal and Spain share fundamental features, such as the extensive clientelistic mobilisation of voters, the dissemination of fraud and corruption, the supremacy of governmental parties and the prevalence of the politics of notables. Part Two focuses on Parliament, questioning constitutional models, internal procedures, legislative action and political activity, as well as coetaneous perceptions and images of the institution and its actors as portrayed in novels, newspaper chronicles, cartoons and photographic reports. This collection of essays offers a detailed and cogent analysis, as well as a vivid picture, of the politics of representation in Portuguese and Spanish liberalism, revealing significant similarities and differences through cross-country comparisons.
