ABSTRACT
In the conclusion, I give an overall assessment of the radical right populist movement in Germany with a particular focus on AfD. Since its foundation, the party has gone continuously further to the right on the political spectrum. The question is how far this shift went and where the party stands today. Recently, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (Bundesamt für Verfassungschutz, BfV) announced that it is suspecting AfD of right-wing extremism, which brings some ramifications for the party in its wake. It may constitute a critical juncture for AfD and have an impact on its further trajectory. The book ends with some thoughts on this issue.
