Rodrigues Appendix 1 About the authors Racism and Extremism Monitor: Seventh Report. 1 Edited by Jaap van Donselaar and Peter R. Rodrigues [1] Introduction Jaap van Donselaar and Peter R. Rodrigues The intended purpose of the Racism & Extremism Monitor is to follow several different forms of racism, extremism and anti-Semitism − and reactions to these phenomena − and to write about them in periodic reports. First the phenomena themselves are examined: how are racism, extremism and anti-Semitism being manifested in Dutch society? This might involve looking at the ways these sentiments are expressed, such as politically organised racism, and at forms of exclusion, such as discrimination in the night life in industry. Some phenomena by their very nature are not limited to the territory of the Netherlands, such as discrimination via the internet. In such cases the extra-territorial context is taken into account. A fixed pattern in this monitoring research is the attempt to identify different kinds of victims and perpetrators with as much precision as possible. This may involve both native Dutch people and ethnic minorities, with the latter subdivided into various minority groups. The responses to racism, extremism and anti- Semitism can be quite different, from educational to legal. Usually the nature of the response depends on the type of discrimination, the category of victims and the background of the perpetrators. In addition, some forms of response can function in tandem or even reinforce each other. The periodical monitoring of the phenomena, the victims, the perpetrators and the response serves many purposes. It is an attempt to add to the insights being gained in the fight against racism, extremism and anti-Semitism. Moreover, the fact that the system is fixed and the research is issued at regular intervals results in an accumulation of knowledge. In the end a picture is produced of long-term developments, and suggestions for future solutions can be made based on experiences from the past. The Racism & Extremism Monitor research project was started ten years ago at Leiden University. In 1997 the first report was issued, and now − December 2006 − seven general, broad reports have appeared. Four monographs have also been published: shorter research reports on specific topics. All the reports can be found on our website: www.monitorracisme.nl. Since the fourth report (2001), the monitoring project has been carried out jointly by Leiden University and the Anne Frank Stichting. In 2004 the name of the project was broadened from Racism & the Extreme Right to Racism & Extremism. This name change reflects the fact that the research project has taken a new direction. While the attention being paid to right-wing extremism continues undiminished, we are also looking at other forms of extremism and radicalism, at least insofar as these are linked to the multi-ethnic society and inter-ethnic relations. One important current theme here is the tension that exists between fighting terrorism and respecting the principle of non-discrimination. Both these human rights are of great consequence, and in the event of a conflict they both deserve to be assessed equally to avoid imbalance and social damage. © Anne Frank Stichting / Leiden University, 2006 Racism and Extremism Monitor: Seventh Report. 2 Edited by Jaap van Donselaar and Peter R. Rodrigues In taking this new direction we are also attempting to introduce a different and complementary approach. Contributions to this seventh monitoring report have been made by several authors from both inside and outside the Anne Frank Stichting. Involving external authors in the project makes it possible to obtain a broader view of the scope of racism and extremism. We wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to Frank Bovenkerk (professor of criminology at the University of Utrecht), Frank Buijs, Froukje Demant and Atef Hamdy (researchers at the University of Amsterdam) and Jenny E. Goldschmidt (professor of human rights at the University of Utrecht) for their contributions. The monitoring project employs a broad working definition of racism, covering anti- Semitism, extremism, xenophobia and Islamophobia. Discrimination on the grounds of nationality is also included, as is discrimination on the grounds of religion insofar as there is evidence of an ethnic component. This occurs, for example, in the case of personal spot checks carried out on the basis of an ‘Islamic appearance’. Extremism is included in our research domain only if there is a connection with racism or inter-ethnic relations. Animal rights extremism and left-wing extremism, for example, do not meet this criterion. In 2003 a new monitoring project was launched that had been initiated by the Directorate for the Integration and Coordination of Policy on Minorities of the Ministry of Justice. This project was a collaborative effort of the Anne Frank Stichting, Leiden University, the National Agency to Combat Racial Discrimination and the National Federation of Anti-Discrimination Agencies and Hotlines. In June 2006 the first report was published: The 2005 Racial Discrimination Monitor. In this monitor, which will appear every two years, the focus is on the data from 2004. The present edition of the Racism & Extremism Monitor, the seventh, follows on the report drawn up for the Ministry of Justice. We are attempting to attune the various monitoring reports to each other as much as possible. In the project for the Ministry the emphasis was on breadth, while in our own monitoring project we have opted to concentrate on depth. In the seventh monitor the focus is on the facts and figures for 2005. This compels us to make a few comments about the available data. The Racism & Extremism Monitor is partially based on research carried out by the various authors. It is also depends to a certain extent on data collected and analysed by others.

    The Mainstream Right, the Far Right, and Coalition Formation in Western Europe by Kimberly Ann Twist A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Jonah D. Levy, Chair Professor Jason Wittenberg Professor Jacob Citrin Professor Katerina Linos Spring 2015 The Mainstream Right, the Far Right, and Coalition Formation in Western Europe Copyright 2015 by Kimberly Ann Twist Abstract The Mainstream Right, the Far Right, and Coalition Formation in Western Europe by Kimberly Ann Twist Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Jonah D. Levy, Chair As long as far-right parties { known chiefly for their vehement opposition to immigration { have competed in contemporary Western Europe, scholars and observers have been concerned about these parties' implications for liberal democracy. Many originally believed that far- right parties would fade away due to a lack of voter support and their isolation by mainstream parties. Since 1994, however, far-right parties have been included in 17 governing coalitions across Western Europe. What explains the switch from exclusion to inclusion in Europe, and what drives mainstream-right parties' decisions to include or exclude the far right from coalitions today? My argument is centered on the cost of far-right exclusion, in terms of both office and policy goals for the mainstream right. I argue, first, that the major mainstream parties of Western Europe initially maintained the exclusion of the far right because it was relatively costless: They could govern and achieve policy goals without the far right.

As detailed in the program, participants dressed in blackface and performed skits for audiences in Portland, Oregon. Programs in the OHS Research Library collection indicate the church performed minstrel shows from the 1940s until at least 1950. During that time, the church moved the show from a single performance at Grant High School to two performances at Civic Auditorium. ON THE COVER: On May 26, 2017, White supremacist Jeremy Christian verbally attacked two young women, one wearing a hijab, on a light-rail train in Portland, Oregon. Three men intervened, and Christian killed Ricky Best and Taliesin Namkai-Meche, while severely injuring Micah Fletcher. In the days following the attack, a powerful, tangible response from the community developed at the Hollywood MAX station — a memorial to the victims that included chalk messages, photographs, candles, and flowers. Jackie Labrecque, then a reporter for KATU News, took this photograph at dawn after someone wrote, in pink chalk, Taliesin Namkai-Meche’s final words: “Please tell everyone on this train I love them.” The memorial, a response to tragedy, also provided hope through a resounding denouncement of hate.

  • Western Europe
    Western Europe Great Britain National Affairs T\wo PIVOTAL DATES IN 1992 were April 9, the date of the general election, which resulted in a close Conservative victory; and September 16 ("Black Wednesday"), when the pound sterling was forced out of the fixed-rate European Monetary System. In April the Tories, led by Prime Minister John Major, returned to power, defying the predictions of the pollsters but with a much reduced overall majority of 21. Neil Kinnock resigned as Labor leader, to be replaced by John Smith. The campaign was marked by successful and sustained Conservative attacks on Labor's alleged tax-and-spend policy. Much was also made of signs of the onset of economic recovery, but this did not materialize, and the continuing high level of interest rates (barely reduced from 10.5 percent to 10 percent in May) squeezed the life out of the faint revival in consumer spending. In fact, unemployment increased by 35,000 in the first 11 months of 1992, and manufacturing output at year-end was almost no higher than in 1979, when the Tories first came to power. The summer was spent trying to reconcile the need of the domestic economy for a looser monetary policy with the constraint imposed by membership in the Euro- pean system. This precarious balance was upset by several events: the Danish rejection of the Maastricht treaty in a referendum on June 2, a further increase in German interest rates in July, and the unilateral devaluation of the Italian lira by 7 percent early in September. The pound sterling meanwhile sank to the bottom of its permitted level against the deutsche mark.
