Extremist Right-Wing Parties in Contemporary Germany

Abstract

With the advent of the new century, Germany has been experiencing an upsurge of right-wing extremism. The recent victory of the National-Democratic Party (NDP) in Sachsen- Anhalt and the rise of right-wing attitudes among the German public can be evidence to that. The article seeks to evaluate the political platforms, organizational strength and social basis of the right-wing extremist parties in contemporary Germany.
