This volume approaches the relationship between European public
sphere and political communication in the framework of establishing
populism and social media. The empirical analysis focuses on the
comparison between different EU countries during the 2019 EP
elections campaign. The data for the analysis was collected real
time from Twitter in the Netherlands, Germany, Finland,
Italy, Spain, Ireland and the UK. during a month period and
are analyzed with both computerized quantitative and manual
qualitative methods. The book introduces a new perspective in
conceptualizing populism in comparative analysis, in which populism
is understood rather as an antagonist logic of political identity
formation than pre-defined political ideologies, movements or party
cleavages. We approach implications of populist construction of
‘us’ and ‘not us’ in national contexts of 2019 EP election
campaigns to find out the relationality between different political
actors and parties. A special attention is paid to
national/transnational and European/Eurosceptic tendencies in
campaign rhetoric. By using a unique idea of ‘hashtag publics’
we approach the common Twitter discussions around the elections and
ask: what particular topics and themes did different political
actors distribute over Twitter during the 2019 EP elections, how
were various topics and actors linked to each other, and how were
campaign agendas and actors linked to populism?
