Today the Left faces new challenges from political forces amassing on the radical right. The 52nd volume of the Socialist Register presents a serious calibration and a careful political mapping of these forces. It addresses pivotal questions on the reordering of the new right. These essays - very broad in terms of themes and places - speak to the global challenges the new right poses for the left at this historical moment. *What is the nature of the right's populism, nationalism and militarism? *What is the social base and organizational strength and range of far right political forces? *To what extent are they influencing mainstream parties and opinion? *How have they penetrated state institutions?*What role do state security services and police forces play?*Does our political situation today require comparison with 1930s Fascism? *How should the left respond to defend democratic and human rights?

Leo Panitch and Greg Albo are Professors in the Department of Political Science at York University, Toronto.
