  • CONSPIRACY THEORIES VS EUROPEAN LIBERALS Edited by MIŁOSZ HODUN
    EDITED BY MIŁOSZ HODUN BEYOND FLAT EARTH CONSPIRACY THEORIES VS EUROPEAN LIBERALS BEYOND FLAT EARTH EDITED BY MIŁOSZ HODUN BEYOND FLAT EARTH CONSPIRACY THEORIES VS EUROPEAN LIBERALS People only believe what they already know, and this is the beauty of the Universal Form of Conspiracy. UMBERTO ECO INTRODUCTION by MILOSZ HODUN “The belief in the Homeric gods whose conspiracies explain the history of the Trojan War is gone. The gods are abandoned. But their place is filled by powerful men or groups – sinister pressure groups whose wickedness is responsible for all the evils we suffer from – such as the Learned Elders of Zion, or the monopolists, or the capitalists, or the imperialists” – Karl Popper. A few years ago, Europeans associated conspiracy theories with harmless lunacy. With American pop culture, which was fed stories about aliens from Roswell in New Mexico or Area 51 in Nevada, about the moon landing, which never took place or Elvis, who still lives. Or that Hitler lives... Each spectacular transportation disaster, an accident that happened to a politician or a celebrity, 8 gave rise to stories, which had followers overseas but reached Europe already modified by writers and directors. It was the same in the last few years when theories about flat Earth (entirely con- tradictory to the primary school curriculum) or humanoid reptiles taking control of the world’s most powerful grew in popularity. We watched documentaries about followers of such theories on streaming sites and treated them just like sequels of Borat, like mockumentary comedy too ridiculous to be true. However, conspiracy theories were popular in Europe.

  • Blind Spot? Security Narratives and Far-Right Violence in Europe
    Blind Spot? Security Narratives and Far-Right Violence in Europe Dr. Arun Kundnani ICCT Research Paper June 2012 Abstract This paper discusses the challenges of countering far‐Right political violence in the wake of the terrorist attack carried out by Anders Behring Breivik in Norway in July 2011. With brief case studies of Britain, the Netherlands, Denmark and Belgium, it argues that classic neo‐Nazi groups are being supplemented by new ‘counter‐jihadist’ far‐Right movements, which use various modes of political action, including participation in elections, street‐based activism and terrorist violence. Building on recent interest among scholars and practitioners in the role of narratives and performativity in counter‐terrorism, this paper argues that official security discourses tend to hinder efforts to counter far‐Right violence and can unwittingly provide opportunities for counter‐jihadists to advance their own narratives. When leaders and officials of Western European governments narrate issues of multiculturalism and radical Islamism in ways that overlap with counter‐jihadist ideology, it suggests a need for reflection on the unintended side‐ effects of their security discourse. The paper concludes with a discussion of how governments can rework their security narratives to oppose far‐Right violence. About the Author Dr. Arun Kundnani was a Visiting Research Fellow at the International Centre for Counter‐Terrorism – The Hague from March to May 2012. He is a former fellow at the Open Society Foundations, New York, and has written widely on race relations, multiculturalism and security. He is currently writing a book on the politics of anti‐extremism in the US and the UK.
