ABSTRACT
This chapter illustrates the specific functions of right-wing websites for several aspects related to political activism on the Net. There are some variations between different types of extreme right groups, with youth sub cultural and neo-Nazi organizations most frequently using multimedia material. Italian extreme right groups are particularly interested in showing their popularity, whereas the German and English ones are those more attentive in facilitating the usability of their websites. According to the data extreme right organizations make use, although still moderately when compared to other functions, of the Internet for mobilizing, and, most interestingly, this mobilization effort takes several forms on their websites. The Internet is thus periodically used by right-wing organizations to help mobilization around local and national offline political campaigns. In the conclusion, cross-country differences and similarities will be underlined and linked to the offline opportunities of the political, cultural and technological context of the extreme right in the six democracies.
