» General Information on Manuscript Submissions
The Journal of Far Right Studies (ZRex – Zeitschrift für Rechtsextremismusforschung) is calling for full papers on the topic of the far right and related issues from all disciplines. Empirical, methodological, theoretical as well as practice-related contributions are welcome.

Contributions to ZRex can be submitted as full papers at any time. Only original contributions are published in the journal. By submitting a manuscript, authors declare that their contribution has not already been published or submitted elsewhere.

ZRex is expressly open to exchange with overlapping and adjacent fields of research (e.g. research into anti-Semitism, racism, National Socialism, gender and cohesion) if there is a connection to the extreme right or right-wing extremism.

The regional focus of the journal is on Europe and the USA, but ZRex is also open to examples from other regions of the world. The articles are generally written in German, but submissions in English are expressly encouraged. Each article contains a summary and key terms in German and English, which precede the main text.

English-language contributions, the international advisory board and the consideration of international references in the selection and review of contributions are central elements for the internationalization of German-language specialist debates in ZRex. The interdisciplinary journal is open to topic-related submissions from any discipline in the areas of empiricism, methodology and theory as well as application-related contributions with a wide range of subjects.

The contributions should comprise 30,000 to max. 50,000 characters (including spaces, footnotes, bibliography and supplementary information).

The contributions will be reviewed anonymously by two reviewers. Therefore, please avoid conspicuous self-citations, project names, etc. in the text that could indicate your authorship.

Possible topics could be:
• European concepts of the extreme right
• the extreme right in the European Parliament
• the internationalization of the extreme right
• foreign policy concepts of the extreme right
• colonialism and the extreme right
• competition and cooperation between far-right parties at European level and between far-right and center-right parties, e.g. in the European Parliament
• current developments, e.g. on the extreme right and the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine
• current developments on the extreme right in other European countries
• historical developments on the extreme right in Europe
