“This edited volume brings together some of the key writings on the topic, focusing on the relationship between the Coronavirus pandemic and the far right from both sides. Short and accessible, and written by true experts, they go beyond the often ill-informed and sensationalist ‘hot takes’ in the media and provide clear insights into a broad range of cases across the world.” -- Cas Mudde, Professor of International Affairs, University of Georgia
