Política - Tema: Relaciones internacionales

This research explores the issues of rising ultra-nationalism in Europe, the influx of immigrants from other parts of the world and how nationalist governments have reacted to this recent humanitarian crisis thus affecting aid initiatives and systems. The research studies the historical, cultural, political, economic and philosophic aspects impacting ultra-nationalism in European society and in so doing, attempts to correlate this with the rising threat of Europe's retreat from and adherence to international humanitarian laws and norms.

The rising phenomenon of European ultra-nationalism has signalled a significant shift in the continent politics, as more right-wing leaders and parties come into power. Many of the ideologies of these radical parties and individuals have often been viewed as discriminatory and exclusionary; more so towards non-European groups, arriving in the continent and fleeing conflict at home.
