This edited book provides a first overview of how populist parties
responded to the COVID-19 pandemic crisis in Europe. Although
populism would normally benefit from crisis situations (e.g.,
political representation or economic crises), the peculiar nature
of this health crisis does not make the benefit obvious. For it to
be exploited, a crisis must be politicized. While populists have
tried to take advantage of the crisis situation, the impossibility
of taking ownership of the COVID-19 issue has made the crisis hard
to be exploited. In particular, populists in power have tried to
depoliticize the pandemic, whereas radical right-populists in
opposition tried to politicize the crisis, though failing to gain
the relevant public support. This book considers populist parties
in eight European democracies, providing a framework of analysis
for their responses to the COVID-19 crisis. It does so by engaging
with the literature on crisis and populism from a theoretical
perspective and through the lens of the politicization process.
