Debating Worlds
By the last decade of the twentieth century, the great questions of modernity seemed to be answered. With the collapse of the Soviet Union and global communism, the liberal democratic capitalist project seemed to be the only one left standing, and in the 1990s the "liberal ideal" spread worldwide. Today, of course, this universalistic narrative rings hollow. The global distribution of power has shifted and the preeminence of the West is receding as new directions for world order emerge. China is rapidly ascending as a peer competitor of the United States, bringing with it a powerful new global narrative of grievance and revision. Political Islam also burst onto the global scene as a multifac...
Entangled Far Rights
Since the Ukrainian crisis in 2014, Russia’s support to the European far right—and to a variety of populist leaders more globally—has become a cornerstone of the West’s perception of Moscow as a “spoiler” on the international scene. The fact that Russia’s most fervent supporters are now to be found on the right of the ideological spectrum should not be a surprise. The European far right has always had Russophile tendencies, but these were obscured during the Cold War, when rightist politics were most of all anti-Communist. Entangled Far Rights traces the “intellectual romance” that existed between European far right groups and their Russian-Soviet counterparts during the twentieth century and accounts for their recent re-emergence.
The Empire of Myth
"In the beginning was the Myth"-or so begins Alain de Benoist's (un)timely meditation on the meaning of a concept which is infinitely rich with significance, yet notoriously difficult to define. Drawing on philosophy, psychology, sociology, and the history of religion, Benoist examines the relationship between language, poetry, and the "stories of the gods" that most people equate with myth. This opens the door to the even bigger question of how meaning first enters the world-and how, in the spiritual wasteland that is modernity, it disappears.Yet the mythic dimension is always with us, even if we believe we have somehow transcended it. It is what makes us who we are. This small essay sets out to ask what myth is from a variety of different perspectives, and provides a concise survey of how many of the greatest thinkers on the subject have answered that question. More importantly, it is a call to re-enter the Empire of Myth. For Benoist, this would be "to experience a revolution as if there had never been one."

The Radical Right in Switzerland
There has been a tendency amongst scholars to view Switzerland as a unique case, and comparative scholarship on the radical right has therefore shown little interest in the country. Yet, as the author convincingly argues, there is little justification for maintaining the notion of Swiss exceptionalism, and excluding the Swiss radical right from cross-national research. His book presents the first comprehensive study of the development of the radical right in Switzerland since the end of the Second World War and therefore fills a significant gap in our knowledge. It examines the role that parties and political entrepreneurs of the populist right, intellectuals and publications of the New Right, as well as propagandists and militant groups of the extreme right assume in Swiss politics and society. The author shows that post-war Switzerland has had an electorally and discursively important radical right since the 1960s that has exhibited continuity and persistence in its organizations and activities. Recently, this has resulted in the consolidation of a diverse Swiss radical right that is now established at various levels within the political and public arena.
La Nouvelle Droite : le dossier du procès
La nouvelle Droite Deux ans après l'affaire des "nouveaux philosophes", une autre polémique divise les hommes politiques et intellectuels français. À nouveau, journaux et revues s'en font largement l'écho. D'autant plus qu'un groupe de presse est accusé d'être un des relais de cette idéologie. Cette nouvelle Droite est-elle dangereuse pour la démocratie ? le socialisme ? le libéralisme ? le progrès ? la science ? la République ? les droits de l'homme ? la religion chrétienne ? notre civilisation ? est-elle vraiment nouvelle ? Ce dossier, partisan mais respectueux de la parole de tous, a été établi pour que chacun puisse juger "sur pièces".
