Hostile States and the Far Right: Converging Tactics

Description

This paper analyses how hostile state actors exploit narratives used by far-right movements to deepen social divisions and undermine democratic institutions. It explains how countries such as Russia, China, and Iran amplify identity-based debates to polarise societies and influence political discourse. The resource provides policy-oriented analysis of the intersection between geopolitical influence operations and extremist narratives, offering useful background for understanding how foreign actors leverage domestic ideological conflicts to weaken democratic resilience.
