The Global Impact of Ultra Right-Wing Conservatism

Even though leaders of conservative governments throughout the world are perceived by the general public to act in complete isolation from one other, their individual goals and ambitions are in reality extremely interwoven. In this post election seminar, Dr. van der Tol, a Research Project Lead at Cambridge University and former Lecturer in Politics at Lincoln College, University of Oxford, will address what is really occurring within the global conservative movement.

This event is graciously hosted by The Asian Herald Library and sponsored by Global Leaders in Unity and Evolvement, a 501c3 think tank based in NC and Washington, DC.

About the Presenter:

Marietta van der Tol’s research interest is in the comparative study of politics and religion, with an emphasis on political theories on space and othering. Her book Constitutional Intolerance: The Fashioning of the Other in Europe’s Constitutional Repertoires explores the relationship between political othering, space, and the law, with chapters on France, the Netherlands, Poland and Hungary (forthcoming August 2024).She leads the interdisciplinary networks ‘Religion, ethnicity and politics in German, Dutch and Anglo-American contexts: nationalism and the future of democracy’ (with Dr Sophia Johnson) and ‘Protestant political thought: religion, state, nation’. These networks have curated several special issues, including ‘Rethinking the Sacred in Religion and Nationalism’ in Religion, State, Society and ‘Old Testament Imaginaries of the Nation in German, Dutch, and Anglo-American Protestant Political Thought’ in The Journal of the Bible and its Reception.She studied at Utrecht University from 2009 to 2014 (LLM Hons in law, MA in history) and then at Yale University from 2014 to 2016 (MAR Hons in history of Christianity). Her doctoral thesis, ‘Politics of religious diversity: toleration, religious freedom and visibility of religion in public space’ (Cambridge), explored expressions of tolerance and intolerance in contemporary constitutional law and politics in France, Germany and the Netherlands.
