This paper assesses the rise of right-wing parties and movements in Europe since the 1980s. The author explores the social basis of exclusionary populism and looks at the right-wing populist dilemma and its challenge. He concludes that against expectations, most right-wing populist parties have remained a viable political factor that represents a major challenge to democracy and its fundamental values.
