Routledge Conflict Mobilisation or Problem-Solving? Book

Explore the evolving landscape of European politics with Conflict Mobilisation or Problem-Solving?: Issue Competition in Western Europe. This academic volume provides a deep look into the political shifts occurring across six major European nations following significant events like the Brexit referendum and the election of Donald Trump. Based on the Issue Competition Comparative Project (ICCP), this book examines electoral developments between 2017 and 2018. It moves beyond traditional frameworks to analyze post-ideological issue competition. By applying issue yield theory, the text offers a fresh theoretical perspective on how political parties compete for voter attention and influence. Readers will benefit from the use of innovative data collection and analysis methods that shed new light on recent electoral trends. This work is essential for students, researchers, and professionals interested in the mechanics of Western European elections and the changing nature of political discourse in a period of high disruption.
