This book provides state of the art research by leading experts on the movement parties of the radical right. It examines the theoretical implications and empirical relevance of these organizations, comparing movement parties in time and space in Europe and beyond.
The editors provide a theoretical introduction to radical right movement parties, discussing analytical frameworks for interpreting their causes, forms, and effects. In the subsequent sections of the book, chapter authors examine a range of empirical case studies in Western, Central, and Eastern Europe, using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methodological approaches, and make a significant contribution to the literature on social movements and party politics.
This book is essential reading for scholars of European party politics and students in European politics, social movements, comparative politics, and political sociology.
In this timely book Manuela Caiani and Ondřej Císař successfully develop a thoughtful and ambitious framework for analyzing the interaction between radical right-wing party politics and social movement mobilization, which is substantiated in empirically rich chapters. An important contribution that should be read widely. – Jens Rydgren,Professor of Sociology, Stockholm University, Sweden.
Social movement studies have mainly addressed progressive movements. Focusing on the concept of movement parties, this interesting collection shows however that the toolkit of concepts and theories developed in the analysis of contentious politics can be usefully adapted to understand the contemporary challenges of regressive actors. – Donatella della Porta, Director of Centre of Social Movement Studies, Scuola Normale Superiore, Italy.
By focusing on the movement qualities of radical right parties in West and East as well as party-movement interactions, this theoretically inspiring and empirically rich volume adds a significant piece of research to the comparative study of radical right politics in Europe. – Michael Minkenberg, European University Viadrina, Frankfurt (Oder), Germany.
