About Book

This book examines the evolution of the Sweden Democrats (SD) from a radical right-wing fringe party with historical ties to fascism and Nazism into a mainstream political actor within Swedish politics. It explores electoral trends, voter behavior, party strategies, and interactions with other parties, highlighting how a party with extremist roots can normalize and integrate into a democratic system. While the book provides valuable insights into political radicalization and mainstreaming of right-wing extremism, it primarily analyzes electoral politics, party legitimacy, and societal responses rather than addressing direct counterterrorism strategies, rehabilitation programs, or community engagement initiatives.
