CEP Germany Webinar: The Transnational Violent Right-Wing Extremist and
Terrorist Threat in France and Germany

(New York, N.Y. / Berlin) – The violent right-wing extremist and terrorist
milieu in the United States and Europe has developed a distinctly transnational
character in its activities and therefore presents an increasing security
threat on both sides of the Atlantic.

 

In November 2020, the Counter Extremism Project (CEP) Germany concluded a
larger scale research project focused on the transnational connectivity of
violent right-wing extremism and terrorism in Europe and the United States.
This research was conducted on behalf of the Foreign Office of the Federal
Republic of Germany and analyzed in a comparative manner the situation in
France, Germany, Finland, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
