D. Oesterreich, CRISIS AND AUTHORITARIAN REACTION - 3 EMPIRICAL-STUDIES ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF RIGHT-WING EXTREMISM AMONG ADOLESCENTS IN THE EAST AND WEST (1991-1995), Gruppendynamik, 28(3), 1997, pp. 259-272
The years following German reunification have provoked a wave of viole
nce against foreigners and right-extremist incidents which are without
parallel in the history of the Federal Republic of Germany. This pape
r proposes a crisis theory approach which is based on my conception of
authoritarion reaction. Three studies conducted between 1991 and 1995
provide the empirical evidence.
