Populism is booming across all the nuances of the political
spectrum. It occupies relevant positions in national parliaments,
in governmental coalitions with mainstream parties or as successful
challengers of the political status quo. This volume sheds new
light on the topic from different methodological and theoretical
angles and offers evidence from a variety of cases on the 'why' and
'how' questions on populism's emergence and consolidation in Europe
over the past 30 years. The volume, composed of eight chapters,
investigates how different populist parties in the European Union
have been affected by the various crises, disentangling the role of
the Great Recession vis-a-vis other factors (such as political and
party system factors, but also structural social changes or
cultural opportunities) in the growing strength of populist parties
in various European countries. More specifically, the volume aims
are to: promote critical discussion on the concept of populism,
reflecting on its conceptual 'usability' beyond the traditional
party families to which it is usually related; use a preliminary
theoretical clarification to shed new light on the different ways
in which populism has been articulated in the various European
countries (either in Continental and Southern Europe, or in the
lesser known and studied East-Central countries) since the economic
crisis, which has acted as an external shock for many party
systems, either giving birth to new political actors or
consolidating existing ones; investigate the connections between
populism and the national contextual political and cultural
specificities that can determine the development of different types
of populisms across countries, elaborating on different
'configurations' of triggering conditions for populism and
reflecting on the limitations of a discrete conceptualisation of
the phenomenon. The chapters in this book were originally published
as a special issue of West European Politics.
