Right wing extremism and terrorism is increasing around the world. The attack in Christchurch in 2019 reinforced the ideological and strategic evolution of the threat milieu. In this subject, you will be introduced to theories which explain Right Wing Extremism and Terrorism, and you will explore the ideological contours of the extreme right worldview. You will then investigate right wing terrorist strategies, attacks, and perpetrator typologies to advance your knowledge of the terrorism nexus. Its transnational nature will be explored through the framework of online networks, and with reference to the domestic and international environments. Finally, you will use evidence and theory to assess the contemporary extreme right wing landscape.
