Lions of the North
'Lions of the North' explores the ways anti-immigrant, anti-liberal activists in the Nordic countries are transforming their identities through music, focusing on the role of new music in their attempts to escape association with skinhead hooliganism and forge alternative reputations as refined activists. Author Benjamin Teitelbaum not only exposes the dynamic relationship between music and politics, but also the ways radical nationalism is adapting to succeed in some of the most liberal societies in the world.
Selfie Citizenship
This collection reflects on the emerging phenomenon of ‘selfie citizenship’, which capitalises on individual visibility and agency, at the time when citizenship itself is increasingly governed through biometrics and large-scale dataisation. Today we are witnessing a global rise of politicised selfies: photographs of individuals with handwritten notes or banners, various selfie memes and hashtag actions, spread on social media in actions of protest or social mobilistion. Contributions in this collection range from discussions of citizen engagement, to political campaigning, to selfies as forms of citizen witnessing, to selfies without a face. The chapters cover uses of selfies by activists, tourists and politicians, victims and survivors, adults and children, in a broad range of geopolitical locations –China, Germany, Iran, Nepal, Pakistan, Singapore, South Korea, Sweden, the UK and the US. Written by an international and interdisciplinary group of authors, from senior professors to junior scholars, artists, graduate students and activist, the book is aimed at students, researchers, and media practitioners.
From Party Politics to Personalized Politics?
This volumes examines two major developments in contemporary democratic politics- the change in party-society linkage and political personalization-and their relation to each other.
Nationalism vs. Nature
Developing an original approach, this book examines how both nationalism and climate change threaten humankind with future catastrophes, arguing that humanity is on a fast track to a dystopian future unless significant changes are implemented. While the world warms, wars driven by nationalism may lead to worldwide devastation, with humankind being caught between two existential threats of its own creation. The author explains how both nationalism and climate change originate from human ingenuity and can only be answered by human cooperation. While, in a perfect world, such problems already would have been solved by the United Nations, this isn't the case in reality. The book discusses how hu...
Migration and Multiculturalism in Scandinavia
Scandinavian societies have historically, and problematically, been understood as homogenous, when in fact they have a long history of ethnic and cultural pluralism due to colonialism and territorial conquest. Amid global tensions around border security and refugee crises, these powerful conversations with nineteen scholars about the past, present, and future of a region in transition capture the current cultural moment.
Sverigedemokraterna
Lars-Arne Sjöberg, pensionerad professor och universitetsråd från Karlstads Universitet: – När jag gått igenom c:a 1 000 olika tidningsklipp om Sverigedemokraterna växte en bild fram som var mycket skrämmande. SD är ett parti med dubbla budskap – dels ett parti, som försöker fungera i det svenska parlamentariska sammanhanget och bli accepterat som ett seriöst parti, och dels ett helt annat parti med en annan agenda, som visar hur de ska agera och göra Sverige till en enpartistat – inte om utan när – de får makten. – Det finns många starka och tydliga kopplingar till händelserna i Tyskland under 1930-talet, som ledde till ett världskrig och en förintelse av judar. ...
Det svenska hatet
Vad är det egentligen som har hänt med Sverige? Hur kunde två hatfyllda rörelser – den militanta islamismen och de islamfientliga organisationerna – få så stor makt att påverka det offentliga samtalet? Och hur ska vi förstå och hantera detta verbala och tidvis fysiska våld? Efter succéerna med Lasermannen och De apatiska återvänder Gellert Tamas till vår moderna samtidshistoria. I den tredje och avslutande delen av sin trilogi om Sverige låter han läsaren återuppleva några av de senaste decenniernas mest avgörande ögonblick – och komma under huden på några av dess huvudpersoner. Det är en bok om Kent Ekeroth, som med sitt arbete med Avpixlat och den internationel...

Lone Wolf and Autonomous Cell Terrorism
President Obama has declared that the greatest terrorist threat which America faces is attacks by lone wolf terrorists. This volume expands the lone wolf rubric to include autonomous cells: small groups of terrorists who cooperate, but operate independently. The challenge presented by lone wolves and autonomous cells, unlike the threat emanating from established terrorist groups like Al Qaeda, has proven intractable because of the difficulty of gathering intelligence on these actors or effectively countering their actions. Lone wolves operate under the radar, staging deadly attacks such as that at the Boston Marathon, and the 2011 attacks in Norway. This volume includes Theory and Policy Studies, individual case studies and the technological impacts of chemical, biological and nuclear weapons as well as the impact of social media in the process of recruitment and radicalization. This book was originally published as a special issue of Terrorism & Political Violence.
