In this first volume of Capital, Race and Space, Richard Saull offers an international historical sociology of the European far-right from its origins in the 1848 revolutions to fascism. Providing a distinct and original explanation of the evolution and mutations of the far-right Saull emphasizes its international causal dimensions through the prism of uneven and combined development.
Focusing on the twin (political and economic) transformations that dominated the second half of the nineteenth century the book discusses the connections between class, race, and geography in the evolution of far-right movements and how the crises in the development of a liberal world order were central to the advance of the far-right ultimately helping to produce fascism.
Volumes I and II of Capital, Race and Space were shortlisted for the 2024 BISA IPEG book prize (for best book published in the field of IPE in 2023), and subsequently recognised by the IPEG Book Prize Committee as Highly Commended. The shortlisted books represent the very best of IPE scholarship, cutting across disciplinary boundaries and addressing timely topics.

"Capital, Race and Space represents an ambitious piece of scholarship, analysing the far right in the longue durée, from French Revolution to the present day. Speaking to multiple areas of IPE and other fields, the book contends that the liberal state has developed in tandem with, and has been at key times of crisis reliant upon, the far right. It employs in particular the concept of uneven and combined development (within a rich and sophisticated theoretical framework), which is used to explore the often overlooked importance of the international dimension in generating the far right. The book is fascinating, highly pertinent to the present day and convincingly argued."
