Investigating support and electoral success of Golden Dawn in Greek rural areas.

The objective of the project was to perform case studies in selected areas of the Greek countryside in order to investigate: a. The sociopolitical and economic factors in the local social composition and the local political tradition that are connected with the establishment of networks of fascist extreme-right supporters. b. The practices that acquaint social subjects with authoritarian and violent behaviors, which may appear as necessary and legitimate in receptive local environments. Fascist and extreme-right support was studied through the lens of violence and violent narratives that while alienating some, may attract other supporters and enrich the organizational resources of fascist and extreme-right groups. Impact to the society and economy: Improvements in the understanding of the rise of neo-fascism in the Greek political system.
