Carlo DE NUZZO

Bio

I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at Cevipol (ULB) and a Research Fellow at Cevipof (Sciences Po Paris). My research interests include Political violence and radicalism; Far right and neofascism ; Political Terrorism in Post-War Europe; History of extremist ideologies, Social Movements, history of citizenship.

I also teach at Sciences Po, where I deliver a course titled 'The Far Right in Europe' at the Nancy campus. I hold a PhD in Political Science from Sciences Po (2023) on the comparative history of citizenship in France and Italy, and a Master's degree in History from the Università degli Studi di Milano.

Previously, I worked as a Temporary Lecturer and Researcher (ATER) in Political Science at the University of Lille, and as a teaching assistant at Sciences Po and the Università degli Studi di Milano. I have served as a research assistant at several universities, including Sciences Po, University College Cork, The Keynes Centre, Strathclyde University, Universidad de San Andrés, and the Università degli Studi di Milano. In particular, I spent three years at Cevipof working on two transnational projects (Horizon 2020) titled TransSOL (Transnational Solidarity at Times of Crisis) and FAB-MOVE (For a Better Tomorrow: Social Enterprises on the Move), during which I conducted a research visit at the Universidad de San Andrés in Buenos Aires.

I am a member of the Council of the Jean Monnet Foundation for Europe in Lausanne and a recipient (2022) of the Henri Rieben Scholarship. I am also a recipient (2022) of the Young Research Program from LIEPP (Laboratoire Interdisciplinaire d'Évaluation des Politiques Publiques) at Sciences Po.

Research

My research interests include Political violence and radicalism; Far right and neofascism ; Political Terrorism in Post-War Europe; History of extremist ideologies, Social Movements, history of citizenship.

The TRANS-INT project examines the transnationalization of far-right intellectual circles in Europe from the 1980s to 2020. It aims to understand how these circles have used cultural change and shared discourses to influence public debates on major issues such as migration and globalization. The project will analyze the influence of intellectual figures and institutions that have played a key role in disseminating the ideas of the New Right. The project will adopt a mixed methodological design combining a large-scale quantitative study to draw general conclusions with small-scale qualitative case studies, identifying specific detailed mechanisms, to examine how far-right intellectual circles have transnationalized between 1980 and 2020 in twelve European countries: Belgium, Ireland, United Kingdom, Germany (North-West Europe); Greece, Spain, France, Italy (Southern Europe); Romania, Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic (Central and Eastern Europe). Four national case studies (France, United Kingdom, Italy and Romania) will be selected for in-depth qualitative analysis.
