Existing research has mainly focused on country-specific factors and the organizational capacities of extreme-right actors, Golden Dawn in partic- ular. A comparison of far-right violence in Greece with far-right violence in other countries in Western Europe between 2016 and 2020, using the unique Right-Wing Terrorism and Violence (RTV) dataset, reveals (1) that Greece has experienced much more far-right violence than any other country during this period; (2) that violence is carried out by so-called lone actors much less frequently in Greece than in other countries; and (3) that serious acts of violence in Greece are directed mostly against migrants and refugees, or against political opponents. High levels of violence in Greece are probably attributable to a unique combination of favorable structural conditions (i.e., high unemployment and an influx of refugees) and favorable opportunity structures (particularly discursive components, including negative attitudes towards migrants and high levels of affective polarization). Far-right violence has become a serious challenge for Greek democracy in recent years, particularly in the aſtermath of the global financial crisis that emerged in 2007–2008. Hundreds of attacks on migrants and political opponents have cost at least five human lives and leſt dozens of people badly injured. A growing body of literature has covered these developments and discussed country-specific causes and trends (Xenakis 2012; Karamanidou 2016; Galariotis et al. 2017; Georgiadou and Rori 2019; see also Rori, Georgiadou, and Roumanias 2022). Given that existing research tends to focus exclusively on Greece, however, we know less about the extent to which patterns of violence in Greece are similar to or different from those in other countries. Some research on far-right extrem- ism more generally has argued that the breakthrough and persistence of the
