Miguel Afonso Caetano"In this introductory piece to a special issue of the Forum, we explore the inadequacies of the field of political communication in addressing the rising threats posed by illiberalism and the far right. We argue that the discipline’s frameworks, developed within the context of Western liberal democracies, are ill-equipped to tackle the complexities and self-reflexive strategies of contemporary far-right movements and actor types. These formations exploit liberal norms and practices to ultimately undermine and dismantle democratic values. We call for more “democratic clarity,” urging political communication scholars to adopt a clear stance in defense of democratic principles and to develop more robust conceptual tools to accurately classify and understand far-right actors. We introduce the other discussion pieces featured in this special section and ultimately point to actionable items meant to move the field forward."<a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/10584609.2024.2414268#abstract" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/10584609.2024.2414268#abstract</a><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/PoliticalCommunication" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PoliticalCommunication</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/FarRight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FarRight</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Democracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Democracy</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Illiberalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Illiberalism</a>
