Abstract

The author researches phenomenon of the right wing radical political parties in Europe. As far as in political science there is no vivid approach towards determination of this phenomenon, author analyzes terminological approaches and offers to use term «right wing radicals» as common for this phenomenon. Recently, we can increasingly observe in political practice that conservative political parties adopt the rhetoric of right-wing radicals and are increasingly using their slogans, especially anti-immigrant rhetoric in their work. This is due to increased competition in the right range. To protect themselves from competition from the right, conservatives are forced to use slogans that are acceptable for the majority of voters. Thus, in modern political science there is no single approach to the concept of extreme right-wing parties. However, the term «neo / neo-Nazism» is outdated and can not explain the phenomenon of modern political parties, most of them distance themselves from totalitarian ideologies of right and do not recognize their ideology. The term «right-wing populism» has no methodological clarity for use as a generic concept. The best is the term «right radicalism,» which reflects features of the ideology and practice of extreme right-wing political parties and can be used as a generic concept.
