authoritarianism and whether it represents 'real' democracy or an unacceptable hegemony
potentially resulting in elected dictatorships and abuses as well as dysfunctional government.

relations linguistics and discourse analysis and risk analysis. The Alt-Right threats and
risk exposures whether to democracy human rights law and order social welfare racial
harmony the economy national security the environment and international relations are
identified and analyzed across a number of selected countries including the US UK Austria

threat are proposed.
