This report from UK think tank the ECFR looks at the new right’s policy agenda and its communication and mobilisation strategy.

Based on interviews with thinkers, political leaders and strategists in a dozen countries, including the UK, the report unpacks the new right’s policy agenda and its communication and mobilisation strategy. Leonard argues that while there are differences between new right parties, they are united by four main pillars and share a common enemy: liberalism.
