Beschreibung
Austria’s Freedom Party has been an indicator species of mutant neoliberalism for the last seven decades. Valentina Ausserladscheider offers us a much-needed overview of the party’s development, demolishing misleading scholarly bromides along the way and showing how, in Austria, neoliberalism appeared first as a project of the far right.
- Quinn Slobodian, Professor of International History, Boston University
Ausserladscheider challenges one entrenched dichotomy only to shatter another….Her pathbreaking book invites us to recognize that rather than anti-elitist rebels railing against neoliberalism, Austria’s far-right populists represent a national-populist, exclusionary mutation of neoliberalism—an insight that resonates widely across the democratic world. This exemplary analysis should be on the reading list of everyone working on right-wing populism.
- Gabor Scheiring, Assistant Professor of Comparative Politics, Georgetown University Qatar
This book examines the rise of exclusionary neoliberalism by assessing how far-right populist actors impact economic policy change. Drawing on the case of the Austrian Freedom Party, the book illustrates how neoliberalism emerged as a far-right political project in Austria. Tracing the Freedom Party´s ideational history, the book describes the making of the exclusionary neoliberal state through its establishment in the 1980s, its implementation in the early 2000s and how exclusionary neoliberalism was sustained after the Great Financial Crisis of 2008. The book thereby provides important insights on how domestic politics respond to challenges imposed by globalization and international market integration, and explains the less obvious ways in which exclusionary nationalist ideas can be deeply entangled with neoliberalism. The book will appeal to all those interested in far-right populism and its interrelation with political economy.
