The Routledge Handbook of Political Parties provides a systematic
and comprehensive overview of the study of political parties
provided by leading experts in the field. In an era of widespread
political disillusionment, political parties are often the main
targets of citizen dissatisfaction, yet they are the key
institutions that make democracy work. Analysing political parties
in unrivalled depth and breath, with comparative thematic chapters
throughout, as well as a dedicated section on political parties and
party politics in specific country and regional settings, this
handbook examines and illuminates the key questions around: how
parties organise; how their ideologies have evolved over time;
their relationship with society; how they differentiate themselves
and how they respond to new social, economic, and political
developments. The Routledge Handbook of Political Parties is
essential reading and an authoritative reference for scholars,
students, researchers and practitioners involved in and actively
concerned about research in the study of political parties, party
systems, and party politics.
What is the effect of globalisation on nationalism, and conversely
how does the persistence of the nation affect globalizing forces?
Does globalisation spell the end of the nation-state and if so,
what is it that accounts for the persistence of nationalism in the
modern world? Nationalism and globalisation are two central
phenomena of the modern world, that have both shaped and been
shaped by each other, yet few connections have been made
systematically between the two. This book brings together leading
international scholars to examine the relationship between
nationalism and globalisation. With a range of case studies from
Europe, the US and Asia, the authors focus on the interaction
between globalisation, national identity, national sovereignty,
state-formation and the economy and consider the ways in which
nationalism has shaped globalising processes. Divided into three
parts: * Part one provides the theoretical framework, identifying
the issues that arise from this interrelationship, exploring
whether nationalism and globalization are conflicting or can be
complementary. * Part two examines how nationalism has shaped and
has been shaped by globalising forces in the past. * Part three
focuses on contemporary issues, including regionalisation,
migration and citizenship, finance and capitalism, and the
emergence of transnational popular and elite cultures on the nation
state and national identity. It will be of interest to students and
scholars of political science, sociology, history, economics and
international relations.

Why do parties that belong to the same party family address the EU
question differently? This book addresses this question through a
systematic analysis of the EU positions of far right parties in
Europe. Starting from the assumption that far right parties are
rational actors, the book argues that the way in which they may
interpret structural incentives depends on their relationship with
democracy, their attitude towards the polity, their target
electorate/social basis, and their behaviour towards competitors.
Classification on these indicators leads to the identification of
three far right party models: anti-system, anti-liberal, and
normalised. Given that the EU is a core issue in far right parties'
toolkit, it becomes a key policy in party competition. Anti-system
far right parties tend to opt for a rejectionist position on the
EU; anti-liberal far right parties tend to be conditional
Eurosceptics; and normalised far right parties tend to adopt a
compromising position on the EU. The specific Eurosceptic frame
that parties may prioritise depends on the domestic political
context and how they may perceive national identity. This book's
findings are relevant in light of Europe's political and economic
crises, and rising public support for Eurosceptic ideas and far
right parties.
