In spite of the fact that Conservative, Christian democratic and
Liberal parties continue to play a crucial role in the democratic
politics and governance of every Western European country, they are
rarely paid the attention they deserve. This cutting-edge
comparative collection, combining qualitative case studies with
large-N quantitative analysis, reveals a mainstream right squeezed
by the need to adapt to both 'the silent revolution' that has seen
the spread of postmaterialist, liberal and cosmopolitan values and
the backlash against those values - the 'silent counter-revolution'
that has brought with it the rise of a myriad far right parties
offering populist and nativist answers to many of the continent's
thorniest political problems. What explains why some mainstream
right parties seem to be coping with that challenge better than
others? And does the temptation to ride the populist wave rather
than resist it ultimately pose a danger to liberal democracy?
