Original FARPE dataset

The original FARPE dataset provides data on protest events by promienent far-right collective actors in 12 European countries. In each country, FARPE retrieved all protest events in which selected collective actors have engaged between 2008-2018. While this dataset does not measure the full extent of far-right protest mobilization in a country, the ‘actor-centered’ approach permits to come as close as possible to a full list of all protest events in which the most active social movement, movement party, or political party have partaken.
