Experiences in working life and the attraction of the extreme right: Empirical findings of a European study.

There is a well-know phenomenon of extreme-right parties gaining support in many countries across Europe. An important question still outstanding is to what extent and of what kind is the socio-economic context a factor in this trend. The SIREN project has accordingly sought to analyse the perception of social and economic changes in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, and Switzerland. Presented here is a general summary of the Europe-wide project, which involved a literature review, qualitative interviews, a quantitative survey and an analysis of policy implications and dissemination activities.
