This thesis concerns the international contacts of the Centrumdemocraten and how the leader of the radical right party influenced the international contacts. I thought of the topic due to my interest in political leadership and the radical right. I had read a lot about the international contacts of the current day radical right and was wondering if the radical right formed a transnational network in the past. This precise topic was not one I had looked into during my bachelor’s and master’s degree. I did study a wide breadth of topics. This included courses on neoliberalism, energy transitions, in and out groups in societies, formations of states and political leadership. However political leadership and the radical right have been the most interesting topics to me.
Politiek in de marge
The subjects racism, wing extremist violence, anti-Semitism and discrimination are widely discussed topics in Netherlands.

Issues of immigration and the integration of foreigners have become topics of heated debate in the public and political arena in modern European democracies. According to Koopmans and colleagues (2005: 3) ‘immigration and ethnic relations (…) constitute since the early 1990s the most prominent and controversial fields of political contention in West European polities’. Parallel to this development, support for anti-immigration parties has increased in several Western European countries. Examples are the French National Front, the Austrian Freedom Party and the Flemish Bloc (since 2004 Flemish Interest) in Belgium. The Netherlands is an interesting case in the European context, because the right-wing populist challenge was rather ‘slow in coming’ (Kriesi et al. 2006: 163). A significant electoral performance of the far-right did not take place until 2002 and it had also failed to make any significant impact on the public debate until relatively recently. The Netherlands was therefore for long considered a ‘deviant case’ (Rydgren and Van Holsteyn 2004), just like for example Sweden, as the country met most conditions that according to established theories explain the emergence of far-right parties elsewhere, but these parties still remained relatively unsuccessful.
3.1 Extreme right
Extreme right in the Netherlands carries out anti-democratic attitudes and opposes the influx and integration of immigrants into Dutch society. At the moment, extreme right in the Netherlands is unable to be considered the continued existence of the democratic legal to threaten seriously. Remain extreme right actions harmful to inter-ethnic relations within the Dutch society. This section discusses the various extreme right-wing movements addressed and discusses the links between extreme right and the LPF / Liveable Flow.
3.1.1 Currents
The AIVD distinguishes roughly three streams within the extreme right. First, there are the representatives of the so-called civil extreme right '. They honor xenophobic and ultranationalist views, but have conformed to democratic mores, partly forced by the courts and public opinion. The neo-Nazi organizations are a second form. They argue openly anti-democratic and racist and are also likely to achieve their goals by illegal means. Thirdly, there are unorganized groups of individuals and subcultures, which in many different ways and may or may not politically motivated, engaged in the propagation of an extreme right-wing or racist message. The latter could include the commission of racist violence, extreme right-wing statements on the Internet or distributing sound recordings discriminatory or racist texts.

In the fifth reporting Monitoring racism and the extreme right are the years 2001 and - where possible - 2002 central. The attacks on the United States 11 september 2001 and the murder of Pim Fortuyn 6 May 2002 have had a significant impact on the overall picture of this reporting period. Both events have left deep marks on the interethnic relations in the Netherlands. These traces can be found in the fifth reporting. It is questions like: increases or decreases the number of racist violence in Netherlands? Which right-wing political parties have disappeared and which come in its place? The number of discrimination cases that reaches the public prosecutor or decreases? And what be provided there for business and to what extent that lead to convictions? The initiative for the project Monitoring racism and the extreme right is the mid-nineties taken by the Leiden University. The monitoring project is now jointly conducted by Leiden University and the Anne Frank. This report was made possible with support from the Management Integration and Coordination Minorities of the Ministry of Justice.

multiple targeted violence. Anti-Semitic violence takes on meaning

2.1 Extreme right
Wing extremist groups often carry an undemocratic ideology and committed xenophobic or even racist manner against the presence of foreigners in Netherlands. The extreme right-wing political organizations and movements in the Netherlands are closely divided and sometimes hold very different ideologies after.
Yet roughly to make a distinction between two extreme right direction. First, there is the so-called civil extreme right ', whose representatives preach ultra-nationalist and xenophobic ideas. Of a different order are the more radical 'neo-Nazi' groups, which unadulterated anti-democratic and racist attitudes honor.
The civil extreme right-wing parties and organizations have this year managed to recover from the blows electoral and organizational malaise which they had to face the previous years. Although not officially confirmed, Block consists Dutch (NB) since the loss of the only seat in the Utrecht city council 1998 not anymore. Also, former political leader of the Centre Democrats Janmaat (CD) several times publicly stated that he sees little future more in a return to politics.

Is there in our country evidence of increasing or decreasing racial violence? How is it with the tolerance in the Netherlands? Has the local policy against discrimination catering success or keep the number of complaints? To answer these questions it is important that research is conducted to periodically monitor the manifestations of racial discrimination and extreme right. This interest is mid-nineties recognized by the University of Leiden and there is the project Monitoring racism and the extreme right developed. Currently the project is implemented by the Leiden University in cooperation with the Anne Frank Foundation and with support from the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations. Research Monitor is an internationally recognized tool for the detection of racism and discrimination, and developing policies against. In 1999 was in Vienna the European Monitoring Centre on Racism
Xenophobia and start. The Vienna Observatory seeks to follow developments in the European Union and analyzed using national monitoring centers. The project Monitoring racism and the extreme right is an important source for the supply of data to the European Monitoring Centre. In the European Directive 29 juni 2000 equal treatment of persons on the grounds of racial or ethnic origin is also included a monitor provision: after the conclusion of the national regulatory (physical appearance) 2003 shall, with effect from 2005 every five years report to be done on the effectiveness of those national measures.

The map of the extreme right in the Netherlands compared to 1999 not much

organizations and groups.
Parties are the Centre Democrats, de Nieuwe Nationale Partij (NNP) and
Nederlands Blok. The NNP is the most active and trying to "clean’ slogans
accretion to find. The NNP arose when after the schism within CP'86
extreme right threatened to fall apart.

2.1 Extreme right
In the Netherlands, one can distinguish two extreme right-wing phenomena. First, there is the so-called civil extreme right ', whose representatives preach ultra-nationalist and at least xenophobic ideas.
Of a different order are the more radical 'neo-Nazi' groups, which unadulterated anti-democratic and racist attitudes honor. Between both directions, moreover, is sometimes a degree of cross-fertilization.
Extreme right-wing groups of the first category have not had a chance last year to return to the political scene. The mid-term elections in Utrecht Dutch Blok lost its only seat, causing extreme right lost the last representative of an elected body. The various parties have, however, already go warm up in the last year
for the municipal- and parliamentary elections 2002 and try to present their ideas more. From Centrumdemocraten (CD) they mainly sought to gain influence at local level. Here they played in local dissatisfaction with government policies biased by sending letters to random citizens.

With extreme right parties in government in Austria and Italy, and Jean-Marie Le Pen contesting the run-off in the 2002 presidential elections in France, few people will dispute their continuing relevance in the politics of Western Europe. Indeed, ever since the first small electoral successes of parties like the Centrumpartij in the Netherlands or the Front National in France in the early 1980s, the extreme right has been the most discussed group of parties both in and outside of the scholarly community. Thousands of newspaper articles and hundreds of pieces of scholarly work have been devoted to extreme right parties, predominantly describing their history, leaders or electoral successes, as well as proclaiming their danger. Remarkably little serious attention has been devoted to their ideology, however. This aspect of the extreme right has been considered to be known to everyone. The few scholars that did devote attention to the ideology of the contemporary extreme right parties have primarily been concerned with pointing out similarities with the fascist and National Socialist ideologies of the pre-war period. If the similarities were not found, this was often taken as ‘proof ’ that the extreme right hides its (true) ideologies, rather than as a motivation to look in a different direction.
The Extreme Right has always been weak and fragmented in the Netherlands. It lacked an
ideological tradition as well as a solid social base. A landowning aristocracy no longer played
a significant role in Dutch politics in the nineteenth century – power had shifted to a patrician
bourgeoisie already in the Dutch Republic (1588-1795). Moreover, the Dutch did not have to
deal with a national question that could have given rise to a nationalist movement with
extremist tendencies. It is true, reactionary anti-democratic forces did emerge in the late
nineteenth century, but they were divided between Liberal, Catholic and Calvinist parties.
Only has survived until today, the Reformed State Party (Reformed Political Party ,
SGP). This party has come to accept democracy in practice, but not in theory. It would like to
replace universal suffrage by ‘organic suffrage’, I.E. give the right to vote only to (male)
heads of households.3 However, it is not a nationalist, racist or xenophobic party.4 Since 1925
it has occupied two or three seats in parliament.
How intolerant towards native Dutch immigrants? Almost
25 year assesses the Social and Cultural Planning Office (SCP) public opinion on
immigrants and publishes regularly about. In the late eighties, early
ninety we see a slight hardening of the climate of opinion, but according to the
SCP there are generally few changes. Just About 80% of the
population thinks that natives and immigrants should have equal treatment
have at distribution issues, such as housing and employment.
Just About 13% of the indigenous population rejects
immigrants. Just About 50% of the indigenous population is against immigration
opposed.
Regarding this last NIPO found in 1998 a different outcome:1 not
half, but three-quarters of the native Dutch against further
Immigration opposed. There is - according to the NIPO - a growing support for
immigration restrictions while confidence in integration and
adjustment of immigrants decreases. NIPO found this trend going on
Polls in the years 1993, 1995 en 1998.
Eind 1999 showed another NIPO survey, one third of the Dutch
opposes the granting of asylum to political or economic
vluchtelingen.2 thirds of the Dutch have supported policies
government for political refugees who fear for their own country
their lives to give asylum. About half of the respondents felt that
seekers give nuisance. Further thought about forty percent that asylum seekers
on average, are more criminal than Dutch.

Extreme right was in the elections 1998 almost completely wiped out.
After the local extreme right shows yet 2 of the 88 seats
having maintained: 1 for the CD in Rotterdam Schiedam and 1 for the
Dutch Block in Utrecht. In the parliamentary elections of May lose
only representative of the extreme right, the Centre Democrats are three
seats. This does not mean that all known far-right organizations
overview of 1998 still exist and – some more than others – active
zijn, except CP'86 in November 1998 was banned.
Dr. J. Donselaar goes into its third monitoring report published this month
elaborate on the map of the extreme right in the Netherlands. Far-right
parties are the Centre Democrats, de Nieuwe Nationale Partij (NNP) and
Nederlands Blok, De CD nam in 1999 the European elections with
a combined list: CD / Conservative Democrats. Conservative
Democrats was an attempt by CD leader Janmaat to a new name
CD again to revive. The NNP is trying to "clean’ extreme right

then arose after the schism within CP'86 extreme right threatened to set

2.1 Extreme right
The far right has been able to not revenge for the big election defeats 1998. In the elections for the Provincial Council in March did the Centre Democrats (CD) participate in South Holland and North Holland, while participating in Utrecht Dutch Block. For both parties had no seat reserved. The CD incidentally sought, as well as a new right-wing splinter group, de Nieuwe Nationale Partij (NNP), yarn spinning with the events in the Frisian Kollum (the murder of a young resident of Kollum and its aftermath). Due to agitate against the Dutch asylum policy would spread both CD and NNP their ideas, in which they tried in Kollum play on the local resistance among the population against the establishment of an asylum center.
De Nederlandse Volksunie (NVU) violated more international out. It has in 1999 regularly participated in demonstrations and gatherings of sympathizers in Belgium and Germany. German neo-Nazis in turn were a guest at a march of NCE in Valkenburg, where the death of Rudolf Hess was commemorated.

The Dutch National Security Service (BVD) finds in his
Annual Report July that extreme right-wing organizations in the Netherlands in meaning
decrease. The loss of the extreme right-wing parties in the municipal- en
Parliamentary elections in March and May are an expression of. There are in
Netherlands more than fifty organized neo-Nazis. In recent years, were
that more than one hundred.
The far-right parties in the municipal elections of March 1998
lose virtually all of their seats. In Rotterdam-Schiedam preserve Center
Democrats (CD) 1 seat and one seat in Utrecht goes to Dutch Block.
The extreme right had 88 seats: 78 for the CD, 9 and for CP'86 1 for the
Nederlands Blok.
In the parliamentary elections of May 1998 lose their extreme right
main representation, nl. the three seats the
Centrumdemocraten.
In the Leiden University does Jaap van Donselaar investigating extreme right.
He cites several reasons for the loss of the extreme right.
Important is the changed electoral law. For the first time, each party 570
signatures required scattered throughout the country to join in all constituencies
to be able to do.

This is the second report of the project Monitoring racism and the extreme right, that was commissioned by the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations. The monitoring project has two main objectives:
1. monitor racism and the extreme right: the observation of these phenomena in the Netherlands, as well as the government response to these phenomena; periodic reporting, in two ways:
(a) 'General report': a general reporting on the basis of a fixed pattern;
(b) a floor battle ': reporting to a special subject is exposed.
2. The periodicity of the project means that displays a general report in one year and the other a 'floor battle'. The first report of 1997 was a general, which involves a broad picture of the phenomena of racism and the extreme right in the Netherlands, as well as government responses. Also those of the coming year (1999) a general report will be. This present second report is devoted to a special’ subject matter: the relationship between the media and also racism and the extreme right.

The far-right parties lose at the municipal
maart 1998 almost all their seats. Rotterdam reserves the CD 1 Headquarters and
Utrecht is one seat to Dutch Block. From Centrumdemocraten
Attractions 25 municipalities participate in municipal elections. In 1994 did
de CD in 45 municipalities, and then took 77 seats. These seats were not
all occupied; moreover lost in that period the CD also seats because members
switched to other parties or founded their own group.
Although the political power of the extreme right is negligible, do
several members of the parties in 1977 to speak. Still
it is mainly the foreigners who suffer. Occasionally there are
anti-Semitic statements made. Because extreme right Nazi ideology
wants to convey, A number of issues still included below.
Disturbing is the use of the Internet by far-right groups in
Abroad. In the Netherlands, racist remarks are indeed prohibited,
but as long as that in other countries is also the case, it is difficult to
foreign sites, which foreign racists offer their "stuff", op
act.
One of the people from this angle that does not mince words, is
Constant Kusters. CIDI put a number of criminal cases against him in motion.

This is the first report of the project Monitoring racism and the extreme right that was commissioned by the Ministry of the Interior. Under 'racism’ are also understood: antisemitisme, rasvooroordeel, Xenophobia, xenophobia en rasdiscriminatie. The monitor works are not exclusively focused on racist, but also to combat these phenomena.
The project has two objectives:
1. Permanent monitoring of racism and anti-racism
2. periodic reporting on the key findings
The utility of periodic reporting has many. Annually took stock based on a fixed pattern of the main manifestations of racism and right-wing extremism, and the development of strategies to combat. The reports can contribute by their systematic and periodic character of accumulation of knowledge and insights. It provides insight into developments that occur in the longer term. This applies not only to the past period but also the future.
The monitor can contribute to early identification of relevant, new developments.
The overall research question is:
1. How are expressions of (racist) right-wing extremism (in Nederland) developed?
2. which patterns of response have been there?

2.1.1 Extreme right
The danger of a fundamental right violations in the Netherlands comes mainly from extreme-right corner, particularly in the form of verbal and physical anti-immigrant violence. The reaction of the extreme left side gives cause for concern.
The BVD pays attention to members of extreme-right political parties whose attack on our democratic legal, fearing in particular the free exercise of fundamental rights of citizens is. Also, the -geringe- several members of fascist organizations, whose Action Front National Socialists (ANS) is the most important exponent, can count on interest from BVD.
Ma startling profits seat of the Centre Democrats (CD) in the municipal elections in March 1994 followed a series of publications on criminal activities and acts of racial violence, allegedly committed by prominent party members. The frictions that partly as a result manifested in the CD, led to resignation, suspension and expulsion of dissident, mainly newly elected councilors. Dutch Block develops gradually become an attractive alternative especially disappointed and resentful (ex)CD councilors. Block plays a far from passive role.
