Major analysis feature following the terrorist attack in Norway on the 22 July 2011 by Anders Behring Breivik, a Norwegian far-right extremist. As a nation struggled to deal with an attack at the heart of its polity, some said far-right extremism had been ignored too long, wrote Martin Sandbu, Andrew Ward and Robin Wigglesworth.

Feature also looked at the rise of far-right extremism in a number of other European countries in the context of globalisation, immigration policies and the rising role of Islam in Europe.
