Choose between various layers to see and compare the different levels of earthquake risk at any location in Europe! Every year we publish a selection of books and pamphlets that address the key issues facing activists and trade unionists.

In other words what many see as political competition (the centre-right, for example, taking up some of the security themes of the far right in the hope of stemming a haemorrhage of votes to them) Fekete sees as ideological and political complicity. This was examined in more detail by the EU-funded project SYNER-G, which developed an open-source software tool to analyse vulnerability and work out the social and economic impacts of earthquakes in specific urban areas, like the port of Thessaloniki in Greece, by the time it finished in 2013. g. market forces using and endorsing the discriminatory and intolerant arguments of the right to sell boarder security tech). France, Italy, and Cyprus subsequently conducted a three-day naval exercise off Cyprus’s southern coast. News came through at the end of May 2018 that Denmark has voted to ban the burqa and the niqab from being worn in public.Local activism is important, but there needs to be national-scale political leadership that can make a wider case for a different economic model that addresses the needs of the working class. While it is clear that there is no simple way out of the dilemma, Fekete mentions positively the role left-wing popular-democratic mobilisations can play.

This approach tends to be in tandem with tarring the far left and far right with the same brush via ‘horseshoe theory’: the belief that both ends of the political spectrum bend around to each other and essentially meet on a platform of extremism, particularly when neoliberalism is deemed to be under threat from both left and right.

Secondly, in so doing, she interrogates how the predominant form of capitalism on the continent has provided a friendly environment for the growth of the far right, accommodated and normalised this growth, and why. Exit in Sweden even took youths on trips to white-power music concerts, insisting that they were ‘fine lads’ evincing a ‘positive nationalism’ (p.

Greece is also obliged to defend Cyprus from any attack by Turkey, as formalised in the 1993 Greece-Cyprus joint proclamation of Single Area Defence Doctrine. The highest earthquake risk and thus the most severe consequences of earthquakes are expected in urban areas located in regions with a comparably high earthquake hazard.For twenty-five years, Fekete relentlessly monitored Europe's far right while the contin To fully consider that hazards do not only reflect the mere occurrence of major seismic events, but also the damage they create, the model also factors in the earthquakes’ damaging effects. Paris went one step further by signing an agreement with Nicosia to service French warships at Cyprus’s Mari naval base. This has been seen recently in attempts in France to connect the radical-left party France Insoumise and the extreme-right Front National via a supposed shared Euroscepticism and anti-Semitism.

The catch-all employed by the corporate media and politicians is ‘populism’, which allows for the conjoining of policies that threaten the established dogma that are as distinct as renationalisation programmes and the forced repatriation of migrants.The main drivers of the earthquake risk are older buildings, high earthquake hazard, and urban areas. Hence, we can summarise that to ‘argue that the extreme right is the main carrier of racism is to miss the point’ (116), but that instead there are many different breeding grounds from which their viewpoints spread. However, the map also shows earthquake hotspots near Brussels in Belgium, Lisbon in Portugal, near Budapest in Hungary and along the Pyrenees mountain range. For example, a constructivist media theory could have supplemented the various examples given regarding the media’s role in the rise of the extreme right.
