Predmety: the radical right, Anti-gender movements, social movement studies, comparative politics, Southeast Europe, qualitative interviews
Popis: This article explores the emergence of anti-gender mobilisation in Southeast Europe with a comparative case study of Bulgaria, Croatia, and Serbia. I employ a most similar systems design to explain different outcomes, namely, varying levels of movement mobilisation in the three countries. Two factors are proven to be crucial: religious resource mobilisation and right-wing alliance dynamics. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with leaders of anti-gender organisations to better understand actors’ strategic motivations and perceptions of context when deciding (not) to mobilise. The article shows that investigations of countermovements should be expanded by analyses disaggregating the seemingly monolithic field of (far-)right politics.
