The People and the Nation cover

The edited book brings together country experts on populism, ethno-territorial politics, and party competition. It consists of twelve empirical chapters, covering seven Western European states (Austria, Belgium, France, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, and the UK) as well as four Central European states (Croatia, Hungary, Serbia, and Poland).

It is a collaboration by scholars from across Europe which contributes to the growing literature on populism by focusing on a relatively unexplored research agenda: the intersection of territoriality, ethno-politics, and populism. Presenting an original perspective contributing experts use case studies to highlight the territorial dimension of populism in different ways and identify that a deeper understanding of the interactions between populist actors and ethno-territorial ideologies is required.

This book will be of interest to academics, researchers, and students of European politics, populism, and ethno-territorial politics.

This book theoretically and empirically fills a void in populist studies. It explores systematically the relationships between territory, ethnicity, identity, and uneven development in European populist politics.- Carlos de la Torre - Professor of Sociology, University of Kentucky, USA. Editor of The Routledge Handbook of Global Populism

This volume is both welcome and distinctive. It is welcome in that it contributes to our knowledge on fundamental questions structuring political debates: questions of populism, nationalism, territory, and identity. It is distinctive in that its empirical basis is rich and wide, covering twelve Western and Central European cases. - Michaël Tatham – University of Bergen, Norway.

Based on a coherent and comprehensive analysis of relevant European political parties, the book timely analyses the interactions between populist and ethno-territorial ideologies. It is a must-read for any student of contemporary political dynamics in Europe. - Régis Dandoy - Ghent University, Belgium
