This book provides an innovative analysis and interpretation of the
overall trajectory of the Western European radical left from 1989
to 2015. After the collapse of really existing communism, this
party family renewed itself and embarked on a recovery path,
seeking to fill the vacuum of representation of disaffected
working-class and welfarist constituencies created by the
progressive neoliberalisation of European societies. The radical
left thus emerged as a significant factor of contemporary political
life but, despite some electoral gains and a few recent
breakthroughs (SYRIZA in Greece, PODEMOS in Spain), it altogether
failed to embody a credible alternative to neoliberalism and to
pave the way for a turn to a different developmental model. This
book investigates why this was the case, combining aggregate (17
countries), case study (Germany, Italy, and France), and
comparative methods. It accurately charts the evolution of the
nature, strength, cohesion, and influence of the Western European
radical left, offering new insights in explaining its behaviour,
success, and limits. It is essential reading for scholars,
students, and activists interested in the radical left and in
contemporary European politics.
