Dutch society is known as tolerant and open but in recent years the far-right has become remarkably successful in the Netherlands. Its leader, Geert Wilders, is one of the most influential politicians in the country. In this brochure, Alex de Jong discusses the development of the new right in the Netherlands, from Frits Bolkestein and Pim Fortuyn to Geert Wilders. He argues the new right could become so successful because it replaced the biological racism of the traditional far right with a cultural racism in which Muslims are ‘the other’ on which social discontent is projected.
