This volume, covering twenty-five populist parties in seventeen
European states, presents the first comparative study of the impact
of the Great Recession on populism. Based on a common analytical
framework, chapters offer a highly differentiated view of how the
interplay between economic and political crises helped produce
patterns of populist development across Europe. Populism grew
strongly in Southern and Central-Eastern Europe, particularly where
an economic crisis developed in tandem with a political one. Nordic
populism went also on the rise, but this region's populist parties
have been surprisingly responsible. In Western Europe, populism
actually contracted during the crisis - with the exception of
France. As for the two Anglo-Celtic countries, while the UK has
experienced the rise of a strong anti-European populist force,
Ireland stands out as a rare case in which no such a party has
risen in spite of the severity of its economic and political
crises.
