The global right wing is on the rise. In recent years, right-wing parties have come to power in countries as diverse as the United States, Brazil, Hungary, and India. These parties have implemented policies that have rolled back social welfare programs, increased inequality, and eroded democratic institutions. The rise of the global right wing has had a profound impact on world politics, and it is likely to continue to shape the international landscape for years to come.

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the global right wing and its impact on world politics. The book examines the ideological, organizational, and strategic dimensions of the global right wing, as well as its relationship to other political forces. It argues that the global right wing is a significant and growing force in world politics, and that it poses a serious threat to democracy and human rights.

Free markets: The global right wing believes that the free market is the best way to allocate resources and create wealth. It opposes government intervention in the economy, and it advocates for policies that reduce taxes and regulations.
Limited government: The global right wing believes that government should play a limited role in people's lives. It opposes big government, and it advocates for policies that reduce the size and scope of the state.
Individualism: The global right wing believes that individuals should be free to make their own choices without interference from the government. It opposes collectivism, and it advocates for policies that promote individual liberty and responsibility.
Nationalism: The global right wing believes that the nation is the highest form of political organization. It opposes internationalism, and it advocates for policies that prioritize the interests of the nation over the interests of the international community.
Traditionalism: The global right wing believes that traditional values are under attack from modern society. It opposes social change, and it advocates for policies that preserve traditional values and institutions.

The Organizational Dimensions of the Global Right Wing:

The global right wing is a well-organized and well-funded movement. It has a network of think tanks, foundations, and media outlets that promote its ideas and advocate for its policies. The global right wing also has a number of international organizations that coordinate its activities and provide support to its members. These organizations include the World Congress of Families, the International Democratic Union, and the European Conservatives and Reformists Group.

The global right wing has also been able to mobilize large numbers of people through the use of social media and other online platforms. These platforms have allowed the global right wing to spread its message to a wider audience and to connect with potential supporters. The global right wing has also been able to use social media to organize protests and demonstrations, and to put pressure on governments to change their policies.

The Strategic Dimensions of the Global Right Wing:

The global right wing has a clear and concise strategy for achieving its goals. This strategy involves:

Mobilizing the base: The global right wing has been able to mobilize its base of support through the use of social media and other online platforms. It has also been able to use its network of think tanks, foundations, and media outlets to promote its ideas and advocate for its policies.
Winning elections: The global right wing has been successful in winning elections in a number of countries. This has allowed it to implement its policies and to further its agenda.
Changing the political landscape: The global right wing has been able to change the political landscape in a number of countries by pushing its ideas into the mainstream. It has also been able to use its influence to weaken the left and to marginalize its opponents.

The Impact of the Global Right Wing on World Politics:

The rise of the global right wing has had a profound impact on world politics. The global right wing has been able to roll back social welfare programs, increase inequality, and erode democratic institutions. It has also been able to promote its own agenda and to marginalize its opponents.
