World of the Right
World of the Right (WoR) is a three year (2017-2020) research project on the radical, nationalist and often populist Right currently on the rise across Europe and the US.
Sponsored by the Danish Velux Foundation, the project provides basic research on the commonalities and variations of the new Western Right and on the narrative which seems to unite it: that of an imminent Western civilizational decline. What, we ask, are the intellectual trajectories that inform this narrative of crisis and decay? What social and technological mechanisms play a role in mobilizing support for it? And what alternative visions of a Western civilizational order – of power, norms, law – is implicitly or explicitly endorsed by it?
