How the far right in America influences far right movements worldwide

In this Podcast, two professors – Anthony Pahnke, from the Department of International Relations at San Francisco State University, and Peter Simi, from the Department of Sociology at Chapman University – discuss the nature of far-right extremism in Europe and the United States. Their conversation deals with the causes for the rise of the far-right, the role that violence plays in their mobilization, and how extremist ideas and activists have become mainstream. They conclude by exploring ways that people can challenge the far-right’s growing influence.
