Abstract

This short article seeks to extend Richard Saull’s analysis of the relationship between capitalism and the far right in his “Capital, Race and Space”, focusing specifically on the Global South and its unique context within neoliberalism and its crises. Saull's framework, which explores the far right's rise through the uneven and combined development of capitalism over an extended historical period, offers valuable insights for understanding these dynamics outside the traditional centers of capitalism in the Global North. By examining the uneven and combined effects of capitalist neoliberalism, this piece argues that while the mechanisms driving the far right in Europe and the United States through neoliberal policies and crises provide a useful lens, they are not wholly sufficient to explain the distinct forms of far right regimes emerging in the Global South. These regimes are shaped by relational global contexts, which require a tailored approach to fully grasp their development and implications. Furthermore, this geographical extension of Saull’s analysis aims to enrich discussions about the contemporary relevance of fascism, drawing parallels with the historical experiences of nations like Italy and Germany that emerged as incubators of interwar fascism in the early 20th century. By shifting focus to the far right in rising or emerging nations, this work highlights the importance of considering how aspirations for great power status in the Global South may similarly foster expansionist forms of far right regimes today.

全球南部的极右翼、地缘政治冲突和法西斯主义的现状
这篇短文试图扩展理查德-绍尔在其《资本、种族与空间》一书中对资本主义与极右翼之间关系的分析,特别关注全球南部及其在新自由主义及其危机中的独特背景。绍尔的框架通过资本主义在一个较长历史时期内不均衡的综合发展来探讨极右翼的崛起,为理解全球北方传统资本主义中心以外的这些动态提供了宝贵的见解。通过研究资本主义新自由主义的不均衡和综合影响,本文认为,虽然欧洲和美国通过新自由主义政策和危机推动极右翼的机制提供了一个有用的视角,但它们并不足以完全解释在全球南部出现的极右翼政权的独特形式。这些政权是在全球关系背景下形成的,需要有针对性的方法才能全面把握其发展和影响。此外,绍尔分析的这一地域延伸旨在丰富有关法西斯主义当代意义的讨论,与意大利和德国等国家的历史经验相提并论,这些国家在 20 世纪初成为战时法西斯主义的孵化器。通过将重点转移到崛起国家或新兴国家的极右翼,这部著作强调了考虑全球南方国家对大国地位的渴望如何同样助长当今极右翼政权扩张主义形式的重要性。
