Description

A detailed examination of the right-wing extremism Australia is facing right now, from the Lowy Institute.

ASIO says right-wing extremism now makes up half its case load, and that it anticipates a terrorist attack on Australian soil within the year. There has been a 250 per cent increase in right-wing terrorism globally. So what exactly is right-wing extremism and how is its potential for violence growing?

Why is it a global problem? How does it threaten democracy and what should we do about it? Rise of the Extreme Right answers these questions while situating Australia within the global threat landscape.
