Description - European Populism in the Shadow of the Great Recession by Hanspeter Kriesi
This volume, covering twenty-five populist parties in seventeen European states, presents the first comparative study of the impact of the Great Recession on populism. Based on a common analytical framework, the individual chapters provide a highly differentiated view of how the interplay between economic and political crises helped produce various patterns of populist development across Europe. Populism grew strongly in Southern and Central-Eastern Europe, particularly where an economic crisis developed in tandem with a political one. Nordic populism went also on the rise, but this region's populist parties have been surprisingly responsible. In Western Europe, populism actually contracted during the crisis - with the exception of France. As of the two Anglo-Saxon countries, while the UK has experienced the rise of a strong, anti-European populist force, Ireland stands out as a rare case in which no such a party has risen in spite of the severity of its economic and political crises.
