Abstract

April 21st, 2002, the first round of the french Presidential election, was a clap of thunder in the political landscape. Jean-Marie Le Pen, candidate of "National Front", the far right leading party, won a staggering 16.86 % of the votes, eliminating from the run-off the outgoing socialist Prime Minister Lionel Jospin and opposing in the second round the incumbent President Jacques Chirac. This political earthquake was a dazzling success for the mounting far right parties in Europe since the 1970s. In this essay we shall adopt a comparative perspective to tackle the revival of the far right, considering examples and establishing similarities and differences among the far Rights in the french fifth republic, the federal republic of germany and italy.
Situated on the far right of the political spectrum and originally opposed to the values of the democratic Revolution of 1789, this anti-mainstream political force is characterised by highly nationalist and populist stances, tough law-and-order and anti-immigration platforms and traditional moral and family values. It is widely seen as an anti-progressive party seeking to put in place a "strong government". The expression "far right" is normatively pejorative and can be used to picture someone as an "extremist". It is often associated with tough conservatism, racism, monarchism, fascism and reactionary politics.
