Europe for the Europeans

'Globalisation has its losers, at least in the short run. Recent decades have seen a surge of xenophobic populist movements in Europe but also a cautious adoption of anti-immigration themes in the rhetorics and policies of mainstream parties. This excellent volume surveys the various shades of brown and beige in contemporary European politics, offering new and very useful comparative concepts.' Daniel Tarschys, University of Stockholm, Sweden 'This is a thoroughly comprehensive study; it is articulate and scholarly and, significantly, comes with a timely warning: "the potential danger (of a resurgent right) flows from the consequences of an as-yet non-existent systemic crisis, which would derail economic progress. In this crisis, noisy populism could readily morph into militant fascism." How prescient! The authors helpfully provide an appendix listing over 116 parties of the radical populist right in 58 European countries.' Journal of Contemporary European Studies 'In an edited volume that represents an analytical tour de force, Liang has assembled some of the most thoughtful academics exploring the "Populist Radical Right" of the subtitle...To better understand these movements and their evolution into the present, this volume is a must read.'
