+ patriot to fascist pipeline?
| | | | The UK and the EU have this week inked a comprehensive deal to renew various aspects of their relationship, ranging from fisheries to trade, travel and defence. It walks back some of the harsher controls that followed Brexit and could bring the continent closer to its island neighbours once again. We convened a panel of economists to provide a thorough explanation of the agreement's different areas, with conclusions that it may lead to smoother travel between mainland Europe and the UK, as well as more reliable food supplies in UK supermarkets. As nationalism surges in popularity, both in the US and across the globe, it's worth unpacking what it actually is, and how it can easily act as a stepping stone between patriotism and fascism. To explain this link, historian Xosé-Manoel Núñez Seixas breaks down the concept of fascist nationalism, and considers whether every nationalist has the potential to become a fascist. Poland is one of the EU's staunchest supporters, has more than doubled its NATO spending requirements, and also manages to maintain a good relationship with the US. As this article explains, Poland's even-handedness is unusual on the continent, and could set an example for the rest of the bloc in how to balance the seemingly conflicting demands of Trump and the EU. |  | Alex Minshall Editor, Valencia | |  Maria Garcia, University of Bath; Conor O'Kane, Bournemouth University; Kamran Mahroof, University of Bradford; Mausam Budhathoki, University of Stirling; Phil Tomlinson, University of Bath Closer trade ties could cut prices for consumers – but they come with serious political risks for the UK government. |  Xosé M.
