Populism is a concept that is currently in vogue among political
commentators and, more often than not, used pejoratively. The
phenomenon of populism is typically seen as something adverse and,
in the European context routinely related to xenophobic politics.
What populism exactly is and who its main representatives are,
however, often remains unclear. This text has two main aims: to
identify populist parties in 21st century Europe and to explain
their electoral performance. It argues that populist parties should
not be dismissed as dangerous pariahs out of hand but rather that
their rise tells us something about the state of representative
democracy. The study has a broad scope, including populist parties
of various ideological kinds - thus moving beyond examples of the
'right' - and covering long-established Western European countries
as well as post-communist countries in Central and Eastern Europe.
It presents the results of an innovative mixed-methods research
project, combining a fuzzy set Qualitative Comparative Analysis
(fsQCA) of populist parties in 31 European countries with three
in-depth case studies of the Netherlands, Poland and the United
Kingdom.
