This agenda addresses individual, community and structural factors to reduce susceptibility to the lure of the far right by strengthening commitment to democratic values, active citizenship, and community connectedness.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMario Peucker\u003c\/strong\u003e is an Associate Professor at the Institute for Sustainable Industries and Liveable Cities at Victoria University (Melbourne).
