The Illiberal Europe Initiative investigates the political and intellectual currents shaping today’s illiberal and far-right movements across the continent. It looks at the multitude of dynamics shaping trends and discourse from perspectives originating from the grassroots level, national levels, and the level of the European Union. It considers cultural and historical contexts to explore topics such as questions about gender identity and individual rights to the evolution of electoral movements and parliamentary dynamics. By examining the interplay between cultural expression and the intellectual work of Europe’s reactionary elites, it seeks to understand the evolving ideological landscape of the region.
