abstract="After the March 2019 Christchurch attacks, the Dominion Movement, New Zealand's first major Identitarian-inspired far-right extremist group, went underground. Only a few months later, however, the remaining members re-emerged as part of a successor group, Action Zealandia. This article analyzes Action Zealandia, outlining how the group fits into a small but persistent far-right extremist ecosystem in New Zealand, and presenting its growing links with violent extreme far-right movements internationally. While the group toes a careful line in its advocacy of violence, the reported involvement of multiple individuals linked to the group in violent extremist threats--from aspiring to establish a 'terror cell' in New Zealand to alleged threats against one of the Christchurch mosques attacked in 2019--demonstrates a 'gray area' that exists between so-called non-violent and violent extremism, serving as an instructive case study of broader trends within extreme far-right movements internationally.   © 2021 Milo Comerford, Jakob Guhl, Elise Thomas<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
