**NEW! DDG BOOK CLUB!**

Tonight on DD Geopolitics, we’re doing something a little different.

For this special-edition book club, Sarah sits down with Austrian author Alexander Markovics to discuss his new book, _The Rise of the New Right_.

What exactly is the “New Right” — and how different is it from the movements commonly described as the Alt-Right, nationalism or contemporary right-wing populism?

Beginning with the movement’s origins in post-war France, we explore one of its most surprising intellectual influences: Italian Marxist Antonio Gramsci, whose ideas about culture and political power helped inspire the New Right’s concept of “metapolitics.”

We discuss Alain de Benoist, liberalism and “totalitarian democracy,” populism versus demagogy, the politics of guilt, immigration and the social contract, technocracy, ecology, the New Right’s critique of nationalism, humanitarian intervention and the concept of “humanitarian imperialism.”

We also examine Carl Schmitt’s distinction between friend and enemy, the concept of Great Spaces, the relationship between Europe and the United States, Germany’s place in an independent Europe, and how these ideas intersect with the emerging multipolar world.

Finally, we ask what the New Right actually looks like today — and whether movements commonly presented as defenders of European civilization are defending European traditions or simply another form of liberal modernity.

_The Rise of the New Right_ was published by Arktos in March 2026.
