ABSTRACT
The chapter examines the successful capitalisation of racialised notions of welfare, nation and gender by far-right parties notably in the Nordic region, but even elsewhere in Europe. This chapter analyses political projects that combine heteropatriarchal structures with racialised (b)ordering practices when seeking to safeguard white entitlement to wealth and benefits within global racial capitalism. It investigates the subject positions and personal rewards that these kinds of racial projects provide for their supporters, in order to understand the appeal of such political movements in societal contexts, where whiteness is a taken-for-granted part of the national identity and the welfare state, a cornerstone of the national project, is increasingly subjected to economic and moral criticism. The chapter elaborates a theoretical perspective that emphasises the role of politics and political economy for the (re)production of racial structures, ideologies and practices.
