Even though far-right parties, and populist radical right parties in particular, have ranged among the most actively studied party families over the last decades, their educational policy-preferences and policies have received remarkably little attention – especially in Europe. This Special Issue represents the first systematic attempt to examine and theorise the nature of European far-right parties‘ educational agendas and thus hopes to advance our understanding of the implications of authoritarianism, illiberalism, nativism, or populism for education policy and politics, as well as vice versa. It aims to contribute to two currently thriving fields of study: the literature on far-right ideology and politics, and the literature on the partisan politics of education. In assembling contributions focusing on different European countries, far-right actors, and educational issues, it contributes to a) the mapping of far-right approaches to education and b) the exploration of potential determinants of far-right approaches to education.
