Con un estilo incisivo y posicionamiento explícito, la recopilación que editan Gisela Pereyra Doval y Gastón Souroujon pone en relieve la necesidad de establecer vasos comunicantes entre disciplinas, regiones, perspectivas, conceptos y temporalidades para entender más y mejor un fenómeno tan contemporáneo como es la (re)emergencia global de la derecha. En particular, se preguntan acerca de la necesidad de identificar las “diferentes coyunturas en que fuerzas de derecha llegan al poder y/o han ejercido una influencia en la sociedad” (Pereyra Doval & Souroujon, p. 1). Los autores conciben oportuno recordar la importancia que tienen las categorías teóricas para entender un fenómeno tan heterogéneo que pasa de la nueva derecha de los 1980 (principalmente en el mundo anglosajón) al Frente Nacional francés en el mismo periodo y finalmente concluye con la extrema derecha en el siglo XXI a escala planetaria: dentro de la cual se incluye, tanto la derecha extrema (antidemocrática,racista y nostálgica por el fascismo), como la derecha radical populista (democrática, iliberal y nativista) (Pereyra Doval & Souroujon, p. 2).

State Representatives

Diplomatic officials are state representatives in developing diplomatic relations with other countries where it is accredited. Diplomatic officials have the rights of immunity and privileges granted by the sending country. Besides enjoying these rights, diplomatic officials also have obligations. As a diplomatic official from North Korea, Son Young Nam is obliged to obey the rules contained in the 1961 Vienna Convention, the 1969 New York Convention, and to respect the national law of the country of Bangladesh which is the country where he was accredited. Son Young Nam's smuggling of gold into Bangladesh was a form of abuse of diplomatic immunity. The act violated Articles 27 and 41 (1) of the 1961 Vienna Convention and Article 25b of The Special Power Act of Bangladesh. Although they have the right to immunity, these rights are not absolute. Immune rights can be breached in the event of gross violations committed by diplomatic officials.

The Right

Through the case of the New Right movement in South Korea in the early 2000s, this article explores how history has become a battleground on which the Right tried to regain its political legitimacy in the postauthoritarian context. Analyzing disputes over historiography in recent decades, this article argues that conservative intellectuals—academics, journalists, and writers—play a pivotal role in constructing conservative historical narratives and building an identity for right-wing movements. By contesting what they viewed as “distorted” leftist views and promoting national pride, New Right intellectuals positioned themselves as the guardians of “liberal democracy” in the Republic of Korea. Existing studies of the Far Right pay little attention to intellectual circles and their engagement in civil society. By examining how right-wing intellectuals appropriated the past and shaped triumphalist national imagery, this study aims to better understand the dynamics of ideational contestation and knowledge production in Far Right activism.

Restrictive Policy

Abstract In recent decades, citizenship policies in Europe have changed significantly: some governments have introduced restrictive new requirements for citizenship, while others have made citizenship more accessible. What explains this variation? Despite a burgeoning literature on both comparative citizenship and spatial competition among parties, scholarship on this question remains in its infancy and primarily focused on the influence of the far right. Expanding on this growing research, this article argues that citizenship policy change results from electoral competition on both sides of the political spectrum, in conjunction with governments’ ideological orientation. Using new data on citizenship policies across sixteen European countries from 1975 to 2014, the author demonstrates that left-of-center governments facing increasing levels of left party competition are associated with more accessible policy changes, while increasing levels of party competition from the far right yield more restrictive policy changes under not only right-of-center governments, but also centrist and left-of-center governments as well.
