This book analyses how party competition has adjusted to the
success of populism in Western Europe, whether this is
non-populists dealing with their populist competitors, or populists
interacting with each other. The volume focuses on Western Europe
in the period 2007-2018 and considers both right-wing and left-wing
populist parties. It critically assesses the concept and rise of
populism, and includes case studies on Austria, France, Germany,
the Netherlands, Switzerland, Denmark, Finland, the United Kingdom,
Greece, and Italy. The authors apply an original typology of party
strategic responses to political competitors, which allows them to
map interactions between populist and non-populist parties in
different countries. They also assess the links between ideology
and policy, the goals of different populist parties, and how
achieving power affects these parties. The volume provides
important lessons for the study of political competition,
particularly in the aftermath of a crisis and, as such, its
framework can inform future research in the post-Covid-19 era. This
wide-ranging study will appeal to students and scholars of
political science interested in populism and political competition;
and will appeal to policy makers and politicians from across the
political spectrum.

This book is a study of the increasing territorial variations in
the development of sub-national welfare systems that have occurred
as an effect of the decentralization of health care and social
assistance policies in Italy, Spain and Great Britain. The author
examines the political factors that underlie these variations by
combining cross-regional and cross-country comparisons using mixed
methods. Vampa's main finding is that regionalist parties have
played a key role in sub-national welfare building and have used
social policy to strengthen their legitimacy in the political
struggle against central authorities. In this context, functional
political competition between Left and Right has been partly
replaced by territorial competition between Centre and Periphery as
the main determinant of social policy making. Additionally,
mainstream left-wing parties have been torn between maintaining
territorial uniformity in social protection and responding to
demands for more extensive social services tailored to the needs
and preferences of specific regional communities. This book will be
of use to academics and policy makers interested in political
economy, devolution/decentralisation, welfare, and party politics.

Populism in Europe offers a detailed and systematic analysis of the
ideology, electoral and governmental performances, organisational
model, type of leadership and member activism of the Northern
League under its founder, Umberto Bossi (1991-2012). Based on a
wealth of original research, the book identifies the Northern
League's consistent and coherent ideology, its strong leadership
and its ability to create communities of loyal partisan activists
as key ingredients of its success. Through their in-depth analysis,
Albertazzi and Vampa show that the League has much to teach us
about how populists can achieve durability and rootedness and how
parties of all kinds can still benefit from a committed and
dedicated membership today. -- .
