Za Říši a Evropu národů! „Nová“ NPD jako vzor a partner české extrémní pravice
For the Reich and the Europe of Nations! The “New? NPD as a Paragon and Cooperation Partner of the Czech Extreme Right

Summary/Abstract: This paper deals with the transnational cooperation of the Czech and German extreme right. The paper focuses on one of the most prominent international partners of the Czech extreme right – the German Nationaldemokratische Partei Deutschlands. By adopting the discourse analytical framework of the Essex School, the author focuses on revealing the discursive conditions as conditions of possibility within which the cooperation between the NPD and the Czech extreme right has gradually formed over the last 25 years (1996–2021). The article first brief ly summarises NPD’s history and explores the development of the party’s foreign policy conception since the second half of the 1990s, when the party became radicalized and opened itself up to a cooperation with the neo-Nazi movement. Ref lecting on changes in NPD’s political discourse, the article shows that the discursive turn towards antiglobalization served as the main condition for establishing closer cooperation between NPD and Czech extreme right.
