Bücher von Hans Vorlander

This book provides the first systematic and comparative analysis of the German right-wing populist protest movement "PEGIDA". It offers an in-depth reconstruction of the movement's historical development, its organisational structure and its programmatic orientation. It depicts the protestors and their motivations, reactions in politics, media and society, and PEGIDA's European network. The volume presents and compares the results of scientific surveys among PEGIDA-participants and brings them into the context of long-time studies on political culture in Germany, representing a comprehensive study of the emergence of contemporary right-wing populist movements. The book will be of interest to researchers, academics and students focusing on comparative politics, (right-wing) populism, protest movements in western democracies, and political culture in Germany, as well as journalists, political educators and policy makers.

DerBand präsentiert die erste systematische Analyse von PEGIDA auf der Basis dervorliegenden empirischen Studien. Ausgehend von eigenen Untersuchungen und Beobachtungenwird die Entwicklung der Bewegung rekonstruiert, die im Herbst 2014 in Dresdenentstand und nationales und internationales Aufsehen erregte. Dabei werden Organisatoren,Positionen, Vernetzungen, Kundgebungen, Demonstranten sowie die Reaktionen vonPolitik, Medien und Gesellschaft analysiert und die Befunde in einer umfassendangelegten Untersuchung mit Erkenntnissen der politischen Kulturforschungzusammengeführt. PEGIDAerweist sich als eine Protestbewegung neuen Stils, eine rechtspopulistischeEmpörungsbewegung, die fremdenfeindliche und islamkritische Ressentimentsmobilisiert und dabei grundsätzliche Vorbehalte gegenüber den politischen undmedialen Eliten zum Ausdruck bringt.
