Routledge Radical Right Parties in Central and Eastern Europe - Routledge

Explore the complex political landscape of Central and Eastern Europe with this academic study from Routledge. This book examines how radical right actors influence public debates and the mainstream policy agenda across the region. While these parties hold significant discursive power, their electoral success remains unpredictable and unstable. This research investigates the relationship between radical right parties and their mainstream competitors. It specifically looks at whether mainstream parties gain ground by adopting the same issues that define the radical right platform. By analyzing these political tactics, the book addresses the ongoing debate regarding what drives electoral success or failure in these specific democratic contexts. As part of the Routledge Studies in Extremism and Democracy series, this work provides a systematic theoretical framework to understand party competition. It is an essential resource for students, researchers, and professionals interested in political science, law, and the evolving nature of democracy in Eastern Europe.
