Have not been established, but: most of the subjects are taught in English. A B2 level of English of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages is required, although no specific test of English proficiency level is held to access the degree.
The educational objectives of this subject are to learn about and analyse the history of the extreme right and national populism between 1945 and the present day. The subject examined in this course focuses on the political ideology, cultural approach, strategy and organisation of neo-fascist, far right and national-populist movements, parties and governments after the end of the Second World War in the Western world, paying attention to the gender perspective.
The course aims to get students used to argue professionally, as historians. At the end of the course, students should have sufficient knowledge of the specificity of this phenomenon, as well as its phases, periods and actors on a global scale.
1. Introduction: What is Fascism? What is Populism?
2. Rising from the Ashes: Neo-fascism in Cold War Europe
3. The ideological aggiornamento: Thiriart, De Benoist and the Nouvelle Droite
4. Populism in the second half of the 20th century: from Perón to Berlusconi
5. The Far Right in the post-Cold War era: National-populism and the Extreme Right 2.0

The evaluation is continuous. Students must demonstrate their progress by completing activities and exams. The deadlines for these evaluation activities will be indicated in the calendar on the first day of class. All activities will have a deadline that must be strictly adhered to, according to the subject calendar.
The weighting of the different evaluation elements will be as follows:
- Writing exam (40%)
- Oral exam (30%)
- Final paper (15%)
- Flipped classroom (15%)

The information about the evaluation, the type of evaluation activity and its weight on the subject is for information purposes only. The faculty responsible for the course will specify it at the beginning of the course.
Assessment activities review
On carrying out each evaluation activity, lecturers will inform students (on Moodle) of the procedures to be followed for reviewing all grades awarded, and the date on which such a review will take place.
Recovery
Those students who have submitted activities whose weight is equivalent to 66.6% (two thirds) or more of the final grade and who have obtained a weighted grade of 3.5 or more will have access to the recovery.
The student will only take the activities or tests not submitted or failed. In no case may a grade be made up by means of a final test equivalent to 100% of the grade.
At the time of giving the final grade prior to the final grade of the course, the teacher will communicate in writing the recovery procedure. The teacher may propose a recovery activity for each failed or not presented activity or may group several activities.
Consideration of “not evaluable”
Students will obtain a Not assessed/Not submitted course grade unless they have submitted more than 30% of the assessment items.
Irregularities in the evaluation activities
In the event of a student committing any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade awarded to an assessment activity, the student will be given a zero for this activity, regardless of any disciplinary process that may take place. In the event of several irregularities in assessment activities of the same subject, the student will be given a zero as the final grade for this subject.
Evaluation activities in which irregularities have occurred (such as plagiarism, copying, impersonation) are excluded from the recovery. It is considered as "copy" a work that reproduces all or most of the work of another student, and as "plagiarism" the fact of presenting part or all of an author's text as one's own, that is, without citing the sources, whether published on paper or in digital form. In the case of copying between two students, if it is not possible to know who has copied whom, the sanction will be applied to both.
Other considerations
Non-sexist use of language will be ensured and will be taken into account in the evaluation.
Single assessment
The single assessment will take place on a single assessment date and consists of the following evidence:
- Written exam: 40%
- Case study: 30%
- Analytical commentary from primary sources: 30%
The same assessment method as continuous assessment will be used.
