Radical Right-Wing Populist Parties in Western Europe
Radical right-wing populist parties, such as Geert Wilders' Party for Freedom, Marine Le Pen's National Front or Nigel Farage's UKIP, are becoming increasingly influential in Western European democracies. Have radical right-wing populist parties expanded their issue profiles, moderated their policy positions, toned down their anti-establishment rhetoric and shed their extreme right reputations to attract more voters and/or become coalition partners? Their electoral support is growing, their impact on policy-making is substantial, and in recent years several radical right-wing populist parties have assumed office or supported minority governments.Are these developments the cause and/or consequence of the mainstreaming of radical right-wing populist parties?
This timely book answers these questions on the basis of both comparative research and a wide range of case studies,
