Table: Populismo? Fascismo? Autoritarismo?
Over the last decade, in different countries, traditional political forces have been losing ground to new right-wing forces proposing radical social transformation. Conservative, traditionalist ideas and criticisms of liberal democracy are gaining more and more ground in the political debate. Forms of mobilization previously associated with the left are rapidly entering the repertoire of this new right that combines street mobilization with expressive electoral results. Some authors have interpreted this process as the rise of a new right-wing populist wave and others as a resurgence of fascism. Is it possible to propose a single concept that encompasses these multiple international experiences? How do classic categories – such as fascism, authoritarianism and populism – contribute to characterizing them? Or do traditional categories make it difficult to understand the new features of these contemporary political phenomena?

Table: Por que agora?
In recent years, in very different countries such as the United States, Brazil, the Philippines, India, Turkey, Hungary and Italy, we have seen electoral victories for political projects with authoritarian leanings based on discourses against the old political and cultural elites. Their more or less simultaneous emergence does not seem coincidental. Some analyses have emphasized the structuring role of the 2008 economic crisis or the resentments generated by the effects of economic globalization. Other analyses draw attention to the increasingly central role of social media, which have abolished intermediaries and promoted indignant and incendiary content. There are also those who highlight the emergence of new social mobilizations that have given voice to conservative and anti-system groups. After all, why now?
