What are the consequences of globalization for the structure of
political conflicts in Western Europe? How are political conflicts
organized and articulated in the twenty-first century? And how does
the transformation of territorial boundaries affect the scope and
content of political conflicts? This book sets out to answer these
questions by analyzing the results of a study of national and
European electoral campaigns, protest events and public debates in
six West European countries. While the mobilization of the losers
of the processes of globalization by new right populist parties is
seen to be the driving force of the restructuring of West European
politics, the book goes beyond party politics. It attempts to show
how the cleavage coalitions that are shaping up under the impact of
globalization extend to state actors, interest groups and social
movement organizations, and how the new conflicts are framed by the
various actors involved.

Over the past three decades the effects of globalization and
denationalization have created a division between 'winners' and
'losers' in Western Europe. This study examines the transformation
of party political systems in six countries (Austria, France,
Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland and the UK) using opinion
surveys, as well as newly collected data on election campaigns. The
authors argue that, as a result of structural transformations and
the strategic repositioning of political parties, Europe has
observed the emergence of a tripolar configuration of political
power, comprising the left, the moderate right, and the new
populist right. They suggest that, through an emphasis on cultural
issues such as mass immigration and resistance to European
integration, the traditional focus of political debate - the
economy - has been downplayed or reinterpreted in terms of this new
political cleavage. This new analysis of Western European politics
will interest all students of European politics and political
sociology.
