Politics: 5 questions to ask in order to understand the rise of the far right in Europe
On June 9, 2024, Belgians will be called to the polls to elect their European, federal and regional representatives. With its Department of Political, Social and Communication Sciences, and the research carried out within the Transitions Institute, UNamur is sharing its expertise to inform and raise awareness among students, the general public and also professionals in the political and legal sector, about the major issues at stake in this election! Today, Arthur Borriello, Professor of Political Science at UNamur, discusses the rise of the extreme right. Our aim? In five questions, to understand the causes and mechanisms, and to show the importance of the citizen's role in the fight against the extreme right.

Tocqueville Chair
The Chair is dedicated to the study of security, from both traditional and critical approaches. Its axis of rotation is the analysis of safety performance - at cultural, organizational and technological levels - and its relationship to social order. Here, safety is approached primarily from a transdisciplinary angle. This localization of safety, at the intersection of several disciplinary influences, directly structures the theoretical and methodological orientations of the studies conducted within the Chair.
