Fifa’s North American World Cup in 2026 – an introduction
There is simply nothing like the FIFA World Cup. There is certainly no other sporting competition – and arguably no single event in any area of society – with the power to trigger the passion of so...
Conceptualizing Fifa World Cup security
Scholars have not fully considered all the possible meanings of ‘World Cup security’. In fact, academics that have written about security in respect to world cups or other mega-events often fail to define terms. By doing so, these scholars unwittingly promote risk assessments that omit threats and countermeasures. To partially fill this gap, this paper presents a formal conceptualization of FIFA World Cup Security. It surveys different definition…
Viewing Right-Wing Intellectuals Through a Dual Lens
The inauguration of US President Donald Trump in 2025 has once again focused both national and global attention on the new Republican administration. In the first Trump presidency, which began in 2016, wildly differing evaluations of Trump emerged in political and media circles from a “renegade” or “traitor” from the Republican Party to a “fascist.”1 Academics that study right-wing politics also found it difficult to make sense of the Trump pheno…
The Villalba Clan
Fanning the Flames
Violence before and after three qualification matches for the 1970 FIFA World Cup between El Salvador and Honduras allegedly ‘triggered’ an armed conflict many call the ‘Soccer War’. Despite numerous refutations, the Soccer War narrative endures within both popular and scholarly histories of soccer. Although many have sought to disprove the falsehood, virtually none have noted the endurance of this seductive story. Although many have suggested al…
Origins, Contemporary Revival, and Uses of Brown Scares
A simple Google search of “Brown Scares” leads one to the following result: “Did you mean Brown Scars?” Yet what if one is really interested in exaggerated state or societal campaigns against “fascists” or excessive fears of the return of fascism or Nazism, also known as “Brown Scares”? In contrast, Google turns up a whopping 294,000,000 results for “Red Scares.” Many of us are familiar with the “Red Scare” of the 1950s, the widespread propaganda…
Casting Ambiguity
By engaging with and expanding upon the UFO taboo discussions, this research sheds light on the contemporary debates on the role of materiality in securitization processes. The paper argues that the complexity of UAP securitization necessitates a multidisciplinary approach that integrates security, scientific inquiry, and global cooperation which will consequently provide a multidimensional understanding of UAPs within national and international …
Limitations and inconsistencies of using the four waves of modern terrorism to understand Latin America
Rapoport's theory of waves of terrorism has been considered a milestone when studying terrorist movements worldwide. This theory states that terrorism develops due to temporal, ideological and technological trends, which stimulate or diminish expressions of terrorism. More concretely, Rapoport argues that since the 19th century, global events have generated four waves of terrorism: anarchist, anticolonial, New Left, and religious. Using the Latin…
If Fascism Is Not Really On the March, Then Why the Constant ‘Brown Scares’
Qué es exactamente el fascismo? Los fascistas se veían a sí mismos como creadores de la unidad entre el capital y el trabajo y el fascismo como una ideología revolucionaria antiliberal, anticomunista y anticonservadora, que mezcla ideales ultranacionalistas antiliberales y marxistas revisionistas, y que nació durante las múltiples crisis de los años de entreguerras. Es un tipo de "socialismo" en nombre de la nación, que supuestamente renace tras …
The Alt-Right’s continuation of the ‘cultural war’ in Euro-American societies
In this paper, I argue that the Alt-Right needs to be taken seriously by the liberal establishment, the general public, and leftist cultural elites for five main reasons: 1) its ‘right-wing Gramscianism’ borrows from the French New Right ( Nouvelle Droite – ND) and the French and pan-European Identitarian movement. This means that it is engaged in the continuation of a larger Euro-American metapolitical struggle to change hearts and minds on issu…

The Radical Right and Nationalism
This chapter argues that nationalism is the master concept of the radical right. It posits that the radical right’s nationalism is different from that of the mainstream right in its radicalism (or far-reaching and fundamental nature), its obsession with the dominance of the main ethnic group, and its longing for homogeneous nations and states. In addition, this nationalism is often populist in tone; it is indebted to direct rather than representa…
Islamofascism’
With the dramatic rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, we witnessed the revival of the Islamism-fascism comparison. This paper begins with a short history of the Islamism-fascism comparison. It then argues that both Islamism and fascism are coherent political ideologies. The author proposes a four-fold typology of different discourses in respect of the Islamism-fascism comparison, which are called ‘Thou shall not compare’, ‘Islamofascism’…
Fútbol para Todos (Soccer for All)
In 2009 the Argentine government of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner created Fútbol para Todos (Soccer for All), a programme that led to a policy of direct state intervention in the acquisition of government television rights for the transmission of soccer matches throughout Argentina. Does Fútbol para Todos serve as a tool for the democratization of Argentinean society, a strategy for populist legitimization, or as an embodiment of quasi-authorita…
Where Have All The Fascists Gone
The Intellectual European New Right (ENR), also known as the nouvelle droite, is a cultural school of thought with origins in the revolutionary Right and neo-fascist milieux. Born in France in 1968, it situated itself in a Gramscian mould exclusively on the cultural terrain of political contestation in order to challenge the apparent ideological hegemony of dominant liberal and leftist elites. It also sought to escape the ghetto status of a revol…
Fifa seen from a postcolonial perspective
FIFA was created in Zurich in 1904 in order to oversee international football competitions among eight European states. The fact that FIFA was created by eight European states at the turn of the twentieth century is significant. The geopolitical context of the period is important for understanding FIFA’s pro-colonialist roots. With the exception of Switzerland, all the founding countries of FIFA were colonial powers. FIFA’s foundation coincided w…
Reflections on soccer, sovereignty and the state of exception
In this paper, I examine soccer, sovereignty and the state of exception. The paper is a pedagogical tool for undergraduate students in order for them to learn about sovereignty and the ‘state of exception’ through soccer, the world’s most popular sport. I begin by examining differing conceptions of sovereignty and the state of exception. I then highlight the fate of soccer under various states of exception. I focus on Pinochet’s Chile, but also p…
Three soccer discourses
In this paper, I examine the dominant discourses surrounding the role of soccer in human societies and the international arena. Following Gearóid Ó Tuathail, I argue that there are three types of geopolitical discourses related to soccer: those diffused by intellectuals, states and popular manifestations of geopolitics in civil society. I highlight three prevalent discourses in relation to soccer propagated by intellectuals, states and within civ…

Rethinking the French New Right
This book focuses on the philosophy, politics and impact of the 'New Right' which originated in France and has since influenced activism, ideology and policy in a number of European countries. This book explores the idea that revolutionaries do not necessarily need to come from the left, nor use arms in order to overturn liberal democracy. In the post-World War Two era, the extremists of the revolutionary right took three different paths: 1) parl…
The French New Right’s Quest for Alternative Modernity
The purpose of this paper is to offer a new interpretation of the French nouvelle droite (ND -New Right). The author argues that the ND is a heterogeneous, pan-European "school of thought" consisting of different ideological tendencies. Yet, contrary to the predominant interpretation of the revolutionary right as "anti-modern" and "reactionary", key ND thinkers, including its leader Alain de Benoist, are wedded to a revolutionary, alternative mod…
Transnationalism and the French Nouvelle Droite
Born in 1968, the French Nouvelle Droite (ND) is a ‘cultural school of thought’. It created a sophisticated European-wide political culture of the revolutionary right in an anti-fascist age; it helped to nurture the discourse of ‘political correctness’ among extreme right-wing political parties, and turned former French ultra-nationalists into pan-Europeanists seeking to smash the egalitarian heritage of 1789. Bar-On argues that the ND world-view…
Understanding Political Conversion and Mimetic Rivalry
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the French nouvelle droite under its doyen Alain de Benoist claimed that it had made a political ‘conversion’ from the revolutionary Right (or conservative revolutionary) milieu to ‘democracy’ and that it had created a ‘post‐fascist’ political synthesis. The paper under consideration will argue that the nouvelle droite’s political ‘conversion’ process was only exoteric in nature by mimicking the ideas of the New…
Fascism to the Nouvelle Droite
The purpose of this paper is to trace continuity in the attachment of the nouvelle droite to a homogeneous notion of pan-European identity since its birth in 1968. Like the nouvelle droite, early post-war neo-fascism and significant fascist elements in Italy were similarly obsessed with the decline of homogeneous pan-European or Western identities. Despite the ultra-nationalistic origins of historical fascism, early post-war neo-fascism and the n…

The Ambiguities of Football, Politics, Culture, and Social Transformation in Latin America
In this article, I attempt to highlight the relationships between football (soccer), politics, culture, and social change in Latin American societies. The essential argument of the paper is that football in Latin America has tended to reinforce nationalistic, authoritarian, class-based, and gender-specific notions of identity and culture. The few efforts of Latin American professional football clubs, individual players, and fans to resist these o…
