Far-Right Parties and the Politics of Education in Europe
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-041-01622-9 (ISBN)
This edited volume explores the highly topical, yet academically neglected, relationship between far- right parties and education policy in Europe. Although far- right parties have been the subject of much research in recent years, their approach to education has often been overlooked. The book challenges the idea that education is a low priority issue for these parties. It shows that they do pay attention to education, and that the issue plays a significant role in defining their socio- cultural strategy in particular. In seven case studies from Austria, Denmark, France, Italy, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia, the authors of this volume illustrate how far- right parties frame education primarily as a means of promoting conservative and nativist values rather than as a tool for economic redistribution. Integrating insights from education studies and political science, this volume provides a comprehensive understanding of far- right educational approaches as a broader European phenomenon. It sheds light on the strategies of these influential political actors and their implications for the future of education and society in Europe. Essential reading for scholars and policymakers, this book offers valuable insights into the evolving partisan dynamics shaping the future of European education and societies.
This volume will be of interest to scholars and students in the fields of political science, education studies, and European politics, as well as policymakers concerned with the intersection of far- right parties, populist movements, and educational policy.
The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Contemporary European Studies.
