ABSTRACT
Questions over race and nationhood are more widely exemplified when globalization is explored. A good example of this is in India, where the Hindu nationalist Bharatyia Janata Party describes the race of ‘Aryans’ as indigenous. 1 This then constructs those who are Muslims as aliens. The relationship between Nazism, neo-Nazism and globalization is multifaceted, with the original Nazis having to make a series of international treaties, but the far right in general is anti-internationalism. Those with neo-Nazi beliefs who may have been in isolation are now through new social media platforms part of a global network that transcends class and country. In Germany, there is a new generation of Nazis, known as Kravattennazis, literally translated as ‘Tie Nazis’. They are well dressed and middle-class professionals, not the clichéd skinhead. Globally, neo-Nazis appear to emphasize smart clothes and education, to suggest they are part of the establishment.
