They are now in concretely the mainstream. Their rhetoric may differ across borders, but many share common strategies: scapegoating marginalised groups, exploiting economic anxiety, and leveraging democratic institutions to erode them...2025-05-2930 minBeyond the Ballot BoxIs Fascism on the Rise?

The CDU, which is a Christian democratic and conservative party won, while the far-right Neo-Nazi party AFD came in second after making massive gains. This isn’t necessarily surprising. After all, for a while now, we’ve been talking about how far-right parties/movements are on the rise in many parts of the world, certainly in Europe and the US. But what does this mean? What does it tell us about the direction of German politics? We unpack everything with Frederik Holst who’s an Assoc...2025-03-0447 minBeyond the Ballot BoxWhy Are Right-Wing Movements in Germany on the Rise?Right-wing parties are gaining traction and strength all over Europe.

CBRL SoundStealing from the Saracens: How Islamic Architecture Shaped Europe | October 2020A thought-provoking discussion, chaired by Venetia Porter, Curator of Islamic & Contemporary Middle East Art at the British Museum (currently on furlough), with Scott Redford, Professor of Islamic Art & Archaeology at SOAS, and Diana Darke, author of this new book.
