How Do the Far Right and Socio-Spatial Factors Interact? Guest articles by Michael Krell have been published

How do far-right parties and movements exploit the unique characteristics of rural areas to mobilize support? How does the ongoing normalization of the far right affect local democracies? How can we explain the growing success of parties such as the AfD and Freie Sachsen in Saxony’s local politics?

Michael Krell, a Research Associate at the Chair of Human Geography, has written guest articles on all these questions in the digital edition of the weekly newspaper DIE ZEIT over the past few months. His findings are based on various research studies on the topic. The articles can be read for free at the following links:
