Drivers of radicalisation? The development and role of the far-right youth organisation ‘Young Alternative’ in Germany

Description

This research article investigates how the youth wing of the German right‑wing populist party Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) known as Young Alternative operates as a potential driver of radicalisation among young people by examining its organisational development, political strategies, and influence in mobilising and shaping extremist‑leaning attitudes, offering insight into the mechanisms through which party youth wings can contribute to broader processes of radicalisation and political identity formation among digitally and socially engaged youth.
