Over the last three decades, numerous radical right populist
parties (RRPP) have emerged, developed, and strengthened their
electoral weight in Western Europe. Yet, while several RRPP have
managed to formally participate in government coalitions (such as
in Italy, Austria, and Switzerland) or to informally support
minority governments (such as in Denmark, and in The Netherlands)
and while other RRPP have become highly visible opposition forces
(such as in France, and Germany), the influence exercised by RRPP
remain underexplored. It is essential to focus on their policy
influence because of their electoral strength but also because they
are often perceived by journalists, citizens, policy-makers as well
as by researchers as a threat to democracy. As a reaction,
mainstream parties tend to adopt specific strategies - such as
measures of militant democracy towards RRPP. The aim of this book
is to contribute to theoretical and empirical research in political
science by bringing together a variety of contributions about the
influence of RRPP in terms of policies on their core issues. To
that end, we ask under which circumstances these parties are able
to do so in contemporary Western Europe. This book proposes to
focus on the role played by party status. Are RRPP better able to
leave their imprints when they are in power or support minority
governments than when they hold opposition or outsider status in
Western Europe?
