Extremismusforschung

This handbook provides insights into a branch of political science that has become particularly visible due to the growing challenges posed by extremism. The focus is on concepts, empirical presentations and approaches to explaining attitudes, actions and election results. This third, updated and expanded edition takes into account the outcome of the federal election on 23 February 2025. Two additional contributions have also been included: one by Evelyn Bokler-Völkel on "Islamism in power" and one by
Hendrik Hansen on the complex issue of "intellectual and political extremism". Both contributions enrich this substantial handbook.
