However, in recent years some of these parties have adopted more radical stances on a range of issues, embracing for example the great replacement theory. In this presentation, Sarah de Lange discusses patterns of radicalization amongst the far right, as well as the slowly disappearing distinction between the parliamentary radical right and the extraparliamentary extreme right and examines the conditions under which radicalization of the far right takes place, and whether it hurts the far right electorally.
Sarah L. de Lange is Professor of Political Pluralism at the Department of Political Science at the University of Amsterdam. From 2016 to 2022 she held the Dr. J.M. Den Uyl chair, a chair established by the Wiardi Beckman Foundation. She is currently working on a project funded by the NWO entitled 'Generational differences in determinants of party choice'. The project examines how the mechanisms that explain voting behaviour differ between younger and older generations. Her latest edited volume, entitled Radical Right-Wing Populist Parties in Western Europe: Into the Mainstream? has appeared with Routledge in 2016
