International Conference: Transnational Perspectives on Europe’s Extreme Right / 21- 23 October 2025, University of Mannheim, Germany

From 21 to 23 October 2025, the University of Mannheim will host the International Conference for Early-Career Researchers: Transnational Perspectives on Europe’s Extreme Right. The event examines how far-right ideologies and networks have circulated across Europe since the 1970s, shaping politics, culture, and society beyond national borders. Highlights include a keynote by Massimiliano Livi (University of Trier) on the transformation of neo-conservative and far-right political culture, and Sofia Miola (University of Pavia) presenting her research on Adriano Romualdi’s search for a European far-right identity. The conference aims to deepen historical understanding while exploring counterstrategies to radicalization.

Shifting Borders. Un podcast sui confini tra passato e presente / Ein Podcast zwischen Vergangenheit und Gegenwart

La rivista bilingue Storia e regione propone una nuova visione della storia regionale: non più un luogo definito da confini politici o naturali, ma uno spazio flessibile, i cui contorni vengono ridefiniti di volta in volta in base ai fenomeni storici analizzati.

Die zweisprachige Zeitschrift Geschichte und Region bietet eine neue Perspektive auf Regionalgeschichte: keine Region im administrativen Sinn, die durch politische oder natürliche Grenzen festgelegt ist, sondern ein flexibler Raum, der je nach den Besonderheiten der untersuchten historischen Phänomene immer wieder neu bestimmt werden muss.

The ties that bind in a federal state? Some reflections from the ancient world

How do local identities interact with federal structures? This article by Roy van Wijk, which TrIBES is pleased to feature, explores the case of Oropus, a contested border region in ancient Greece. Through a historical lens, the piece examines the tensions between political autonomy and larger federative entities, offering insights that resonate beyond antiquity. As part of TrIBES’ ongoing exchange with disciplines seemingly distant from its core themes, this contribution invites reflection on identity, governance, and historical narratives.

Fa paura l’estrema destra in Italia e in Germania. Intervista di WDR Cosmo a Massimiliano Livi

In Italia le radici storiche dell’estremismo di destra, comprese le influenze del MSI, nella quale rientrano anche organizzazioni e partiti come FdI e Lega, che da tempo cercano di distanziarsi dal neofascismo, contribuiscono per prime alla complessità della sua definizione. In Germania, la scena neonazista è invece caratterizzata da NPD e AfD, entrambi sotto osservazione per attività estremiste. Tra differenze e continuità, la presenza di elementi ultradestra russi a Roma indica l’esistenza di una rete transnazionale.

Nell’intervista con il redattore di Cosmo Italiano per la WDR Radio, Massimiliano Livi riflette sull’estremismo di destra in Italia e Germania.
