Extreme-right terrorism is a threat that is often underestimated by the public at large. As this paper argues, this is partly due to a concept of terrorism utilized by policymakers, intelligence agents, and police investigators that is based on experience of international terrorism perpetrated by leftists or jihadists as opposed to domestic extreme-right violence. This was one reason why investigators failed to identify the crimes committed by the National Socialist Underground (NSU) in Germany (2000–2011) as extreme-right terrorism, for example. While scholarly debate focused on the Red Army Faction and Al Qaeda, terrorist tendencies among those perpetrating racist and extreme-right violence tended to be disregarded. Influential researchers in the field of “extremism” denied that terrorist acts were committed by right-wingers. By mapping the specifics regarding the strategic use of violence, target selection, addressing of different audiences etc., this paper proposes a more accurate definition of extreme-right terrorism. In comparing it to other forms of terrorism, extreme-right terrorism is distinguished by its specific framework of ideologies and practices, with the underlying idea of an essential inequality that is compensated for through the affirmation of violence. It can be differentiated from other forms of extreme-right violence based on its use of strategic, premeditated and planned attacks against targets of a symbolic nature.

Rechte Gewalt
(2023)
Die rechtsextremen Ausschreitungen und Gewalttaten der frühen 1990er-Jahre mit zahlreichen Todesopfern fanden international hohe Aufmerksamkeit. Nachdem präventive und repressive Maßnahmen sowie Interventionen der Zivilgesellschaft zunächst erfolgreich waren und die Übergriffe abzuebben schienen, wechselten sich in den folgenden Jahrzehnten Phasen mit hoher und nachlassender Intensität der Gewalt ab. Dennoch blieb die rechtsextreme Bedrohung alltäglich. Rechte Gewalt gehört bis heute zur Realität gesellschaftlichen Zusammenlebens.
Die Beiträge des Bandes untersuchen Phasen und Erscheinungsformen rechter Gewalt am Beispiel des Landes Brandenburg, darunter die Skinheadattacken in der Spätphase der DDR, Krawalle an der polnischen Grenze, Angriffe gegen KZ-Gedenkstätten sowie jüngere Entwicklungen antisemitischer und rassistischer Exzesse. Ebenso steht die Gegenwehr zivilgesellschaftlicher Akteure im Zentrum der Analysen. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit gilt den Betroffenen rechter Gewalt.
