The extreme right in croatia, bosnia-herzegovina and serbia 1

With the rise of extreme-right parties in Western Europe and the lifting of the Iron Curtain, researchers turned their focus to the countries in the former Eastern bloc. In so doing, a major question arose: is the extreme-right family in Eastern Europe comparable to that in Western Europe, and in particular, does it have similar ideologies? This chapter is an introduction for research into extreme-right parties in the Balkans and seeks to chart the core issues and problems surrounding research into the extreme-right party family in Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Serbia. ²
