It shows that there are many similarities between left-wing and right-wing extremists, both in terms of their ideologies and their individual experiences. Overall, these causes can be traced back to three factors: unmet individual needs (e.g., deprivation or disenchantment with politics), access to ideological narratives that promise simplified solutions to individual problems, and the larger social circumstances of life (e.g., transformation processes, unemployment, or immigration). Although extremist attitudes are relatively rare, they are also shown to be highly stable: once acquired, individuals are difficult to bring back onto the democratic path. This book is the first to systematically compare left-wing and right-wing extremist attitudes, to provide an intensive methodological contribution to the measurability of such attitudes, and to relate their causes and stability. Sebastian Jungkunz is a post-doctoral researcher at the Institute for Socio-Economics at the University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany, Post-Doctoral Visiting Fellow at the Bamberg Graduate School of Social Sciences, Germany, and project leader at Zeppelin University, Germany. He received his PhD from the University of Bamberg, Germany, and was a visiting scholar at Waseda University, Japan. He is currently working on projects concerning the impact of socio-economic problems on cognitive health and political participation, the development of political attitudes among adolescents, and the measurement and explanation of political and religious extremism. 001442838 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001442838 650_0 $$aRadicalism$$zGermany$$xHistory$$y20th century. 001442838 650_0 $$aRadicalism$$zGermany$$xHistory$$y21st century. 001442838 650_0 $$aRight and left (Political science)$$zGermany$$xHistory$$y20th century. 001442838 650_0 $$aRight and left (Political science)$$zGermany$$xHistory$$y21st century. 001442838 650_0 $$aPolitical sociology$$zGermany. 001442838 650_6 $$aRadicalisme$$zAllemagne$$xHistoire$$y20e siècle. 001442838 650_6 $$aRadicalisme$$zAllemagne$$xHistoire$$y21e siècle. 001442838 650_6 $$aSociologie politique$$zAllemagne. 001442838 651_0 $$aGermany$$xPolitics and government$$y1990- 001442838 655_7 $$aHistory.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411628 001442838 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001442838 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aJungkunz, Sebastian.$$tNature and origins of political extremism in Germany and beyond.$$dBasingstoke : Palgrave Macmillan, 2021$$z9783030833350$$w(OCoLC)1264402458 001442838 830_0 $$aNew perspectives in German political studies. 001442838 852__ $$bebk 001442838 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-83336-7$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001442838 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1442838$$pGLOBAL_SET 001442838 980__ $$aBIB 001442838 980__ $$aEBOOK 001442838 982__ $$aEbook 001442838 983__ $$aOnline 001442838 994__ $$a92$$bISE
