ABSTRACT Geographers have investigated the multiple factors behind the current polarization of space that has led to the categorization of disadvantaged, structurally weak, or peripheralized places as “left behind.” These places are also considered as the political strongholds of the radical right, which is currently becoming mainstreamed in the public sphere of the Western world. Following a conceptualization of the mainstreamed radical right and its approach to space, the current article presents the socio‐spatial imaginaries circulated by this political group concerning left‐behind places. It is argued that such places are not only nested locations where the radical right grounds its political power, but spatial objects of a global relational space co‐produced by the mainstreamed radical right.
