This book focuses on the varied support for the populist radical
right in the Benelux countries: Belgium, the Netherlands and
Luxembourg. Despite many common characteristics, right-wing
populist parties have historically been more successful in the
Netherlands and Flanders than in Luxembourg and Wallonia. This book
argues that the variation in the success of right-wing populist
parties depends to a large extent on the way in which they are
perceived and received in a given polity. In the Netherlands and
Flanders, mainstream parties and the media have contributed to
politicising issues pertaining to immigration and national
identity, thereby tilling the field for the populist radical right.
In Luxembourg and Wallonia, mainstream parties and the media have
resolutely limited the opportunities for right-wing populist
challengers to influence the public debate. This volume will be of
interest to practitioners as well as students and scholars of party
politics, the media, the populist radical right and the Benelux
region.
