Losers of modernization or modernization winners?

Abstract: In this study we explore the links between neoliberalism and the radical right of the modern day. We have examined four party programs and used a Critical Discourse analysis to analyze them. To our help with the Critical Discourse analysis we have used a definition of neoliberalism that was formulated as broad as possible to be able to touch upon as many issues as possible within the party programs. The analysis resulted in two-three out of four of the radical right parties being in support of neoliberal policies. In the conclusions we found a warrant for a new research approach of this issue.
