Abstract

While commentators often describe transnational far-right populism as a unified movement, Teitelbaum's article investigates incongruities among anti-immigrant, nationalist actors in two locations today. It focuses on the implications of Donald Trump's success for the Sweden Democrats, highlighting party leaders' inability to establish a coherent position on the US Republican. Their struggle derives from Trump's mismatch with the party's emerging reformist ideals. Accordingly, the public sphere analysed in this article provides insight, not only into the internal divisions and fraught history of the Sweden Democrats, but also into the dynamic nature of contemporary right-wing populist movements in the West.
