    THE RISE OF GOLDEN DAWN: THE NEW FACE OF THE FAR RIGHT IN
        GREECE

      By Antonis A. Ellinas

    Abstract

      The article examines the rise of one of the most extremist
        political parties in Europe, Golden Dawn. It sketches the
        historical trajectory of the Greek far right, examines the
        ideological, organisational and voter profile of Golden Dawn,
        and offers possible explanations for its breakthrough in the
        2012 elections. The article shows how the economic crisis has
        brought a massive realignment of the Greek electorate away from
        mainstream parties, giving rise to anti-system and
        anti-immigrant sentiments. Golden Dawn's violent tactics have
        allowed the party to establish an anti-system and anti-immigrant
        profile, and capitalise on these sentiments. The party's future
        will depend on its capacity to absorb organisationally future
        tensions between party pragmatists and idealists.
