The parliamentary elections of 2015-16 in Greece, Spain and
Portugal had extraordinary consequences, bringing repeat elections,
unprecedented processes of government formation and uncharted
government outcomes. Greece formed a coalition of radical left and
radical right and Portugal its first government supported by the
communist party while Spain took ten months to get a government.
These developments are especially astonishing in three states which
in previous decades were a byword for democratic stability. After
the transitions following the fall of their dictatorships in the
1970s, Greece, Spain and Portugal established bipolar electoral
competition and predictable patterns of government formation. But
more recently, all three countries have been in the frontline of
the economic crisis and austerity implementation, triggering
electoral realignments and turning the radical left into a major
player. This volume offers essential understanding of the political
destabilisation of Southern Europe. It includes detailed analyses
of all five 'crisis elections' and of Greece's bailout referendum.
It also provides studies of the five 'new contender' parties
(SYRIZA, Podemos, Ciudadanos, the Bloco Esquerda and the Portuguese
Communist Party) which played a key role in government formation
for the first time. The chapters originally published as a special
issue in South European Society and Politics.
