为何极端右翼如此重要 Why is the extreme right important?
有以下两个原因 It's an important topic for two reasons.
首先 在一个更广泛的社会里 First, a wider society
极端右翼政党及其社会活动 extreme right political parties and social movements
支持和倡导这样的政策 advocate policies which, if enacted,
即承担像移民 穆斯林 有时甚至是 would entail negative consequences for minority groups
同性恋者这样的少数群体 whether immigrants, Muslims,
引发的负面后果的政策 sometimes even homosexuals.
其次 这对于政治学者很重要 Secondly, the topic is important for political scientists
因为右翼政党的增加挑战了欧洲的 because the rise of these parties challenge many conventional wisdoms
诸如如何理解政党制度 政治文化政治态度 about how we understand party systems, political culture,
以及公民的进化这样的传统观念 the attitudes, the evolution of citizens in Europe.
例如右翼政党的发展并不在所有的欧洲国家都兴盛 For example, the rise of these parties did not happen across Europe.
即便是外界条件与其他的地区或者国家相近 It happened in particular countries, and sometimes particular regions,
右翼政党的发展也只是在一些特别的国家 despite the fact that many of the surrounding conditions
有时是一些特别的地区 were similar in other regions, in other countries.
右翼政党的增加也挑战了那些 The rise of these parties also challenged the idea
认为公民越来越多地从实质右翼问题 that citizens were increasingly moving away
转移到右实质性问题 from material right wing issues
比如环境问题上来的观点 to embrace post-material issues such as the environment.
