This project expands on the understanding of the role civil society organisations (CSOs) play in counteracting right-wing extremism. Drawing on central strands in the defending democracy literature, the aims of the project is to introduce a typology to classify the responses of CSOs to right-wing extremism. Furthermore, the project contributes empirically by exploring how various type of local CSOs in the Swedish town of Ludvika responded to the foremost neo-Nazi movement in the Nordic countries, namely the Nordic Resistance Movement (NRM), prior to and after the 2018 Swedish election.
